An immature #BullHeadedShrike. Adults have a whiter throat patch and more defined facial pattern, but in many ways the immature strikes me as more interesting because of the rich rufous barring!

A #BullHeadedShrike with and without its prey. Shrikes are always fun to observe with their feisty spirit, tiny legs, and very metal disposition to capturing and subduing food.

クチバシを大きく開いたぞ！ これは！チャンスか？
喉から何か出てきた（もちろん撮影中は分からない）
何とか写っていた１枚
吐き出す前をクローズアップ
モズがクチバシを大きく開いたので、これは！と思って連写したら何とか写っていた。

🌏 Bull-headed shrike (Lanius bucephalus) The bull-headed shrike is a medium-sized bird (19-20 cm) with a robust build. Males (pictured) have a rufous crown, black mask, grey-brown back, dark wings with a white patch, and rufous flanks. Females are duller with a brown mask and no white wing-patch. It breeds in Northeast China, Korea, Japan, and far-eastern Russia. Northern populations migrate south for winter. This shrike prefers open habitats like farmland and woodland edges. It's a "sit-and-wait" predator, perching prominently to hunt insects, lizards, and crustaceans. Known as "butcher birds," they impale prey on thorns or barbed wire for storage or easier consumption. They also use food caches to attract mates. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Takashi_Yanagisawa via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/wild-animals-bird-natural-outdoors-3262980/ UUEV

A Bull-headed Shrike sits on a branch of a Japanese Maple, preening its feathers. The tree has shed some of its leaves with the lateness of the season, but the leaves that remain are an intense red. Beyond, the sky is murky and overcast.
