Name that Fish
Chuck Hawkins and I had a chance to fish some new water and found a mystery fish. Can you name it?
Northern Shrike
This little guy, about the size of a blue jay is pretty amazing. Northern Shrikes usually site quietly, often in the top of a tree, before they swoop down after insects, mice, and small song birds. Impaling it’s prey on a thorn or wedging it in a forked twig.
This is the first one I’ve had a chance to photograph. Usually they sit so far away.
