Smart Little Bird

Love these fierce little birds. This is the best shot I've ever been able to get of one. Interesting fact from the Cornell site: "Loggerhead Shrikes impale noxious prey such as monarch butterflies and eastern narrow-mouthed toads—then wait for up to three days to eat them, which allows time for the poisons to break down. These shrikes also eat the heads and abdomens of toxic lubber grasshoppers, while discarding the insect’s poisonous thorax."
