A mottled brown rag tor sits on a bare limb among other bare branches. Its belly is white with brown speckles, and its beak is short and hooked. There is obviously a wind because its feathers are sticking out and up on its back.
On a branch among green leaves sits a dove. It is all ruffled and puffed up.
A gray bird sits on a bare branch. It has a lighter, very puffed out belly and black on the tip of its wings and its tail. It has a short hooked beak and the feathers on its back are sticking out a little.

An iridescent black bird on a feeder perch puffs up its feathers and opens its beak wide. The bird has a clear, yellow eye. The expression on the bird’s face appears angry.
A small gray bird with a short hooked black beak perches atop a twig. The bird has a white throat and belly and a black face stripe that looks like an eye mask. Despite being little, the bird looks very stately.
A great bird with a black wing and eye mask stretched forward on a wire. In its beak is a large insect.
@alan678.bsky.social says that today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PowerPose. I couldn’t decide between two photos, so I’m including them both! Also a bonus #FeedingFrenzy #CommonGrackle #LoggerheadShrike #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin
Profile shot of a Loggerhead Shrike on a barb wire with blurry foggy background.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay per Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social alt theme is #Grey, birds with Grey feathers on them.
A Loggerhead shrike seems to fit.
A #LoggerheadShrike can kill and carry an animal as massive as itself. It transports large prey in its feet and smaller victims in its beak. #Birds
A shrike perches near the end of a thin branch, facing left. It's black mask hides its eyes and a sharp hook adorns its bill.
Loggerhead Shrike. Even the name sounds vicious.

Loggerhead Shrike (on a wire) (Florida) #BirdOfTheDay
I don't like to take photos of birds on a wire as I much prefer a natural perch. But looking back through old photos I apparently took a few of these back in 2011.

Loggerhead Shrike (small grey bodied bird, white under, distinctive black bandit style mask on face). Seen perched on a tree near Lake Apopka Florida today
Osprey, perched on a tree branch at shoreline. Back to photographer, looking to left over shoulder.
Tricolor Heron, beak open, tossing back a minnow. The minnow can be seen in the air between top and bottom sides of the herons rather long beak.
Green Heron walking among vegetation. Neck fully extended as it focus on a potential tasty snack in the pond.
Walkabout Friday (should be a thing?)
Personal 1st sighting of a Loggerhead Shrike, and a lucky shot of a Tricolor Heron gulping down a minnow. Got to spend quality time watching a Green Heron browsing for lunch also.

Sometimes when you're out surveying for #LoggerheadShrike you actually find some shrikes! In this case, it was two of them carrying food into a very well-hidden nest in this poor excuse for a tree. Food items looked to be #caterpillars.

A shrike perched at the top of a bare tree with a cloudless blue sky background. It is in profile view looking off to the right. It is a soft gray with black edges to the wings and a black eye mask. The tip of his beak is slightly hooked. The butcher bird!
Yesterday I was thrilled to spot this rare, for Ontario, Loggerhead Shrike perched very high in a distant tree. #birds #shrike #loggerheadshrike
