I love Shrikes and it was nice to have one as my first bird here at my new job. Birding has actually been pretty quiet this year for some reason but I hope to start getting more photo ops as I figure out this new landscape.
A description of encounters with birds and other wildlife during personal birding trips, Audubon fieldtrips, and banding days primarily in Florida but will include out of state finds when they happen.

First Bird Photo at New Work
Yesterday I got to watch a rocket launch from the new workplace and as I left for the day I got a chance to photograph my first bird encounter at this location. I was pulling out of the parking lot and noticed a Loggerhead Shrike flying in from above toward the ground. It then flew up to a spot next to me and proceeded to thrash a newly captured caterpillar into submission before it swallowed it down.
