[[image: loggerheadshrike.jpg ]] '''Common Name:''' Loggerhead Shrike '''Scientific Name:''' Lanius ludovicianus '''Size:''' 9 inches (23cm) '''Habitat:''' Throughout North America. '''Status:''' Vulnerable. This species is declining throughout within its range due to habitat loss and pesticides. '''Diet:''' Large insects, but can include small birds and mice. '''Breeding:''' Both the male and female Shrikes into a cup shape construct its nest of woven twigs and strips of bark. The nest is found on a large branch of a tree or shrub from three to thirty feet off the ground with an average of five to six eggs. '''Cool Facts:''' The Loggerhead Shrike is found throughout North America. The Shrike’s diet consists mostly of large insects, but can include small birds and mice. It makes its kills by a sharp blow from its beak. This unusual form of attack is because it lacks the sharp talons found on raptors. The food is then cached on barbed wire or thorned shrubs, earning the shrike the nickname “butcher bird”. Its decline is attributable to habitat destruction and pesticides. It is “Blue Listed” on the Channel Islands and in California. There have been appreciable drops in population east of the Mississippi River as well. It became “Threatened” in Canada in 1986 and “Endangered” in 1991. It is currently under evaluation of listing in the United States.
