Loggerhead Shrike
Image 1 is of a fluffed-up bird in the early morning chill at Culp Valley in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, California. Image 2 was taken near the Salton Sea, California. The remaining images are of a Paracotalpa deserta prey item that I observed being skewered by a Loggerhead Shrike on a sharp branch in the Yuha Desert, Imperial County, California.
