Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) 💕🌈

The only shrike species endemic to North America, this tiny predatory bird is famous for impaling their prey on branches, thorns, and barbed wire!

some birds are very intuitively named. looked up a sparrow going chipchipchip in my yard, it was a chipping sparrow. saw a black bird with red wings, it was a red winged blackbird. gray bird that sounds like a cat? gray catbird. the first time i saw a house finch it was perched on a windowsill. However, some birds are the red-bellied woodpecker

Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)

the broken-wing display is one of my favorite examples of innate behaviors!! many bird families have evolved this trait independently, but killdeers are so iconic for it

per usual the original guy for fun

(working through redrawing all the birds in an old book I made!)
