As the title suggests, this a collecton of shrikes and vireos photos. Actually, at the moment, I have no vireo photos. I do not have easy access to them in my area. I feel fortunate to be able to photograph the Loggerhead Shrike as it was listed by the National Audubon Society as one of the "Birds in Decline" in 2007.
I was driving alone the back roads in my area seeing at least three loggerhead shrikes, but, as luck would have it, none were in a good position to be photographed. They were either too far or on a utility line. The fourth one though was perched nicely in a tree where I photographed it. Maypearl, Texas, April 2008.
