Thank you everyone for all your responses. I appreciate the insight and detail! 
We have quite the gradient of tolerance amongst our shrikes, it seems. I have 
attached my favorite picture of an "urban" shrike in our area that lives along 
Hwy 501- the main corridor of our study area.

Hi Katie,
as one who studied LS ca. 40 years ago in Florida, I can say that I agree with 
the description of 'rural' shrikes. In southcentral Florida, there are lots of 
shrikes that breed around rural areas, that have probably become urbanized in 
the interim, such as Lake Placid, Sebring, and most of Highlands County.
Good luck with your research,
Reuven

Hi Katie,



Similar to Alex in AR, here in VA I see the occasional LOSH near/next to a 
house, utilizing trees/shrubs and even the roof of the house, but these houses 
are in rural pasture settings.



I’ll also throw in my out-of-state urban shrike observation:



8-12-2019, while vacationing in FL, observed an adult LOSH from an Avis Car 
Rental parking lot, perched on a powerline behind an adjacent auto service 
business – Homestead, FL,

I have two interesting observations to offer up:



Palanios, TX; 3/14/16: watched a pair on a ~100' strip of green park space 
between a dense residential area and the water. Female was busily building a 
nest in a palm tree. Pair was hunting from power lines along yards and the road.



Brunswick, GA; 4/16/22: while pumping gas along a 4-lane highway just off I-95, 
I noticed a shrike on a power line. I watched until it flew to an ornamental 
shrub at the edge of the gas station parking lot, I took a closer look and 
located a nest with 4 young, near fledging. This area is very built up with 
high traffic, with the only usable green space being a strip between the access 
road that the gas station was on and the 4-lane (Rt. 17).



I'd be happy to share coordinates for either on request...

Hi Working Group members!



For those who don't know me, I'm Chris Hill's current master's student. My 
thesis focuses on LOSH and their interaction with urban habitats. It's been a 
few years since someone from the Hill lab did a quick survey about Loggerhead 
Shrikes living in predominantly urban/developed areas. Currently, 
urban-dwelling LOSH have been documented in Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, and Texas.



I'd love to hear from you if you have any observations of LOSH in urban areas 
so I can update our running list. Please feel free to reach out to me directly 
with any and all observations/anecdotes!



Thank you for very much for your help,

Katie
