Stephen > I was a bit far away but this loggerhead shrike was in some nice late afternoon late. Midlothian, Texas, January 2010
Stephen > Perched on a fence, this loggerhead shrike was swooping down on unsuspecting insects that it would sometimes impale on the barbed wire. Midlothian, Texas, January 2010
Stephen > I spied this loggerhead shrike high in a tree, but it wasn't completely by chance. I have seen shrikes in this same area for several years now. The trick is finding one in the open in decent light. Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > I wasn't sure about this shot. The shrike was quite a distance from me as it had just finished running off a red winged blackbird from its territory. I liked the unobstructed perch so I took the shot. This image represents a 66% crop of the full frame. Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > While trying to get a good shot of this shrike in a more natural setting, I took this nice portrait of it on barbed wire. Its nest with two hatchlings was just to the left in a tree. Midlothian, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > 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.
Stephen > I am always excited to find a loggerhead shrike. I like their curved beaks and the head plumage. This one was photographed in Maypearl, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > This is another image of the loggerhead shrike that allowed to get relatively close as it looked down into a small meadow in my hometown of Midlothian, Texas, December, 2007.
Stephen > This rather plump looking shrike was photographed perched in a large tree near a pond in Midlothian, Texas, December 2007.
