A Northern Shrike mosaic for Mosaic Monday

It wasn't quite what we were looking for and it was only the second Northern Shrike sighting for me this winter. But the other pics in the mosaic tell the story of having seen Northern shrikes other years. Yesterday's sighting is the bird in the blog header and the circular pic in the mosaic above. At first appearances it looks like a sweet, cute, fluffy , cuddly looking little winter bird. But looks can be deceiving. The Northern Shrike is a predator and preys on little birds. It is called the "Butcher Bird, and for good reason. too! Just do a google search for:Northern Shrike. Mosiac Monday is hosted by Mary(thank you Mary) at dear Little red house which you can find by clicking on the icon on the top of the column on the right. This is a fun meme blog to have found and today is my first mosaic contribution. Please Enjoy! Until next Monday!
