Hi Carol, those actually look more like Red-Osier Dogwood berries in its mouth
to me. I was surprised to see a pair of Eastern Kingbirds, another
insectivore, eating berries yesterday morning - so maybe these birds are
supplementing their diets with berries. Maybe it's a seasonal behavior or
Forwarding for Alec Humann who is on Twitchell Road right now. Please contact
him (716-604-2971) if you have any info regarding the Loggerhead Shrike.
Thanks!

Hi Sue,
I have a photo of a couple that are pretty close to this stage at:
http://www.chirpsandcheeps.com/. It's the third row down on the left.
Click on it to enlarge - and then you can enlarge further using the icon at
the top right of the photo.
Hope that helps,
~ Sue
