Bosque del Apache NWR, Socorro NM<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are other birds at Bosque del Apache besides the Sandhill Cranes and Snowy Geese. This is a Loggerhead Shrike from the scenic overlook at the south end of the refuge. The overlook provides a panoramic view of the refuge and the Rio Grande Valley south of the refuge. Perhaps that is what attracted the Shrike, but I suspect it is the abundant bug life of the upland. The Shrike is also called the &#8220;Butcher Bird&#8221; because of its habit of leaving its prey impaled on barb wire and thorns to keep it from other predators.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon P900 at about 3500mm equivalent field of view (Perfect Image digital zoom). 1\/500th @ ISO 100 @ f6.5.
