This cute little songbird, a Loggerhead Shrike has a nickname of the "Butcherbird" thanks to its practice of a strike at the nape of the prey's neck severing the spinal cord and then impaling its prey on sharp thorns, twigs and barbed wire. It can take down prey twice its weight. Looks can be deceiving. Taken from our deck, Estero FL 3/16/24
