From all appearances it has been a great nesting season for the Loggerhead Shrikes on Antelope Island State Park<\/span><\/a>. It seems everywhere I look there are numerous juvenile Shrikes perched on bushes near rather harried looking adults.<\/p>\n

\"JuvenileJuvenile Loggerhead Shrike perched on Greasewood – Nikon D200, f6.3, 1\/800, ISO 500, 0.7+ EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday while photographing an adult shrike I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye and saw this cooperative Loggerhead Shrike<\/span><\/a> juvenile perched on a bush with the Great Salt Lake in the background.<\/p>\n

I was able to take about 20 images before the juvie flew off.<\/p>\n

I really like the black mask this species has.<\/p>\n
