Forgive me if this has been discussed, but why is this a Loggerhead rather than a Northern Shrike? I have not seen the bird but only Pam Otley's photos. The mask appears narrow to me and the throat does not contrast with the breast, at least in her photos. I can't tell that the bill is short. ??? Please educate me.
