\"FirstFirst of year photo of a juvenile Loggerhead Shrike – Nikon D810, f8, 1\/800, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

On the 20th of May I saw my first of the year Loggerhead Shrike fledglings but it wasn’t until the 24th that I was able to photograph this young shrike.<\/p>\n

I’ve looked through my archives and the earliest I have photographed fledgling Loggerhead Shrikes on Antelope Island State Park<\/span><\/a> previously was June 10 so they might be fledging about two to three weeks earlier than most years.<\/p>\n

I will be seeing more of these little wannabe raptors soon.<\/p>\n

Life is good.<\/p>\n
