A curious loggerhead shrike. #Photography #Birds

It was so adorable that it almost made me forget that they are nicknamed 'butcherbirds' because they impale/skewer their prey on sharp objects. 😅

Like that one Hozier song? Loggerhead shrikes are endangered in Ohio, which is also the center of the data center boom. If congress passes #BAAJA it would be easier to construct data centers, gutting the endangered species act to do it. Call your senators & tell them #NoBAAJA #NoDirtyDeal #106Strong

Warming waters are shifting loggerhead nesting grounds to the Mediterranean.

As turtles mature faster and arrive on crowded Italian and Spanish shores, scientists are rushing to identify new nesting beaches and set up protective measures.

Butcher Bird Rest

For weeks, this photograph sat unnoticed in my collection. I suspect I mistook the bird for a mockingbird when I took the picture. It is actually a loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), the first one I've ever photographed. Its nickname is the "butcher bird."

In the nineties I was an activist fighting to save right whale and loggerhead nesting sites from a massive projected development where I live. Had dinner with Sam Donaldson and he said no one cares about anything until it affects their wallet. Focus on that and you will win. We did and we won

As loggerhead turtles spread west, Mediterranean beach resorts learn to share the sand
ASCEA and CASTEL VOLTURNO, Italy, and BARCELONA, Spain — In the early hours of a warm July day, regular rows of still-folded sun umbrellas stand along the shores of Castel Volturno, a coastal town in the Italian region of Campania, located about 35 kilometers (22 miles) northwest of Naples. A small group gathers around a control screen while a drone flies along the coast, searching for tractor-like tracks emerging from the waves. At the slightest sign, group members will quickly reach the location and fence off the area. Summer is the nesting season for the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). Loggerheads inhabit warm portions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. However, despite its broad range, the species is listed as vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN. These large marine reptiles spend roughly two decades maturing at sea before the females return to land — usually to the same beaches where they hatched — to lay their own eggs. Historically, loggerhead nesting in the Mediterranean has been concentrated in the warm sands of the sea’s eastern and central basins — primarily in Greece, Türkiye, and Cyprus — while the western basin has served mainly...
