I look so cute and fluffy, yes? But don't be fooled. I'm the Loggerhead Shrike, Lanius ludovicianus. See my sharp, hooked beak? All the better for tearing and dismembering my prey. I am tough like a little raptor! Some folks call me the Butcher Bird just because I like to store my food on a thorn or barbed wire. If you find an impaled grasshopper, lizard or mouse, leave it alone - you may be looking at my leftovers.
