My wife and I just had a treat a few minutes ago. We were eating lunch when I noticed a bird sitting on the back of the trellis bench in the backyard. At first I thought Mockingbird as I had just seen one flying around in the yard. The markings were much more bold than a Mocking bird though so I knew it was something else. I picked up the binoculars and took a look and to my pleasant surprise it was a Loggerhead Shrike. It has been several years since I saw one here at the house. I love surprises with wings.
