He may look cute but he strikes fear in the heart of all smaller birds. Wonderful shot. Nice to see the Loggerhead. Here in the Northwest we only get the Northern Shrike.

Nice shot, Betty; I had his northern cousin in the yard two days ago, but could not get a shot. Well done.

Fine shot of a loggerhead, Betty. My shots of northern's leave much to be desired. Nice and crisp.

His beak looks pretty nasty, doesn't it? Thanks for your kind comments.

Thanks everyone. This bird hung around for quite a long time. Think he was posing for me!

That is beautiful Betty, that hook on the beak is scary stuff. Great job!
