Family of Loggerhead Shrikes in Pass Christian, MS. Video taken 11 months after town was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Shrikes are the only truly predatory songbirds. They are known for catching small animals and birds and impaling them on thorns and barbed wire. Watch one of the juveniles cough up a pellet at 1:10.

  • actually, butcherbirds do it too, they fill the same niche as the shrikes but not related. Impaling animals on thorn is pretty hardcore.
