Small birds are rare down here. I have only a single warbler and a bunch of crackles. So, when I saw this new loner bird, I took interest. It is a Loggerhead Shrike.
I had never heard of such a birds. It turns out that it is an endangered species in some states. “Reports of Loggerhead Shrikes in Pennsylvania are few and far between. That is why it is considered a state Endangered species.”

August 7, 2024- It has been many months since I saw a shrike. There might be two of them now. I think I saw a pair. They might also be juveniles hatched this year.

May 27, 2025- Below, This is one to the two new birds hatched this year. I have three now in my backyard every day. 
Also, a Limpkin returned. I saw them last year. They sound and behave like small Sandhill Cranes.
