Those are great shots, Bob; well done indeed. I've probably seen more Loggerheads, even though we don't normally have them here, than I have the Northern Shrike. Good for you.

neither had I- he was trying to steal a meal from some owls I was watching

So CLOSE; that's great!

I recommend having them hover close by and not too high- it makes shooting much easier
