One Shrike, Two Shrike's!!

So I get up this morning to let the dog out and what do I see in my backyard hanging around my Dutchman's pipevine. Two Loggerhead Shrike's. They stayed in my backyard for sometime. I think they were either hunting lizards or my Pipevine swallow tail cat's. Either way it was really cool to have them haning out in my yard for the morning. I hope they come back and get some of those darn lizards.

Wow...excellent shots. Shrikes are yardbirds for you? Lucky!

Great and cute series Don.

Ahh.... nice, lovely, cute shots. They look like shy lovers!

Holy mother of BOKEH!

Fantastic captures, I like them all.

Excellent shots of the cute little butcherbirds, sharp with poses and b/g's... They both appear to be juvenile birds and you are very lucky to have them up close and personal.

what a great series of shots. looks like they were kissing yeah haha too fun.

Wonderful shots!

Yeah, I was thinking they looked like juveniles also. I have yet to see one. Lucky you and those are terrific shots!

Wonderful series. They do look like juvies to me to. I had no idea they were that small.

Great series..

We have 'em where I live but I've never been close enough to get a decent shot.

Excellent series with beautiful bokeh. Well done.

Awesome morning
