Loggerhead Shrike
Glossy Ibis
Loggerhead Shrike and Glossy Ibis, recentry at Eagle Lakes Park, Naples, FL. Cool birds. The shrike hunts insects, lizards, small mammals and impales them on thorns or barbed wire then eats them. The beautiful gloss on the ibis is visible in full sun. This is a wading bird that feeds on insects in marshy areas by probing into the mud with its bill.
