Description
I have been watching a nesting pair of Loggerhead Shrikes for the past 4 years. They nest in virtually the same area each year, so I have been able to photograph some interesting nesting shots! In this photo these hungry hatchlings are being feed. When hatched they are blind and featherless. Fact: Though classified as a songbird this bird has a bird of preys attitude, it is the only bird that impales it’s prey!

Exceptional photo. Such brilliant contrasting colors of the feathers.
Impressively beautify. This photo shows magnificent detailing not only of the loggerhead shrike, but also its surroundings feeding the hatchlings.
Brilliant. Love your birds.
