Went out yesterday before the rains come in till June and not only got quite a few keeper Eagles but I think this is my first northern shrike that isn't totally blurry. Granted not the best shots but they were threw tall grass and he didn't hang out to long so I took what I could get. Thanks for looking and hopefully someone can confirm or deny my ID.

It does look like a Shrike, to me. Congrats :)
