Loggerhead Shrike. (Lanius ludovicianus). This black-masked little bird may look like the Lone Ranger, but he is far from it. No white hat on him. He is pretty barbaric; impaling his prey of reptiles, amphibians, or rodents on barbed wire or thorns.

Wow – who would have thought that such a sweet-looking little bird would do such a thing?! I guess they know how to take care of themselves! 🙂
