A Northern Shrike has decided to spend the winter in Toronto, and today, I accidentally stumbled across it, as well as about a dozen EXTREMELY ANGRY Chickadees that were determined not to be eaten by it and wanted it to know that. #birds #photography #BirdPhotogaphy #NorthernShrike

Northern Shrike
Lanius borealisOften caches (stores) prey items by impaling them on thorns or barbed wire, or wedging them into a branch fork. The family name, and that of the largest genus, Lanius, is derived from the Latin word for "butcher"

Enjoy these three versions of the amazing #butcherbird, aka #LoggerheadShrike (plus a bonus #NorthernShrike!) from #JohnJamesAudubon, #LouisAgassizFuertes, and #TimWorfolk. I love the beauty, vitality, and simplicity of them all.
