Kletzsch Shrike 3/23 Gordon Zion

Lake Park Birders,

Loggerhead Shrikes are uncommon spring and fall migrants. It is the
southern version of the Northern Shrike that is a bit more common and
a winter visitor to the Milwaukee area. Shrikes hunt small rodents
and large insects from perches in open grassy areas. They impale
prey on thorns and prongs of barbed wire.
