I spotted my first brown shrikes this season a few days ago. It's exhilarating that I shouted to call my Mom’s attention.
I knew I have been hearing a noisy bunch of birds every morning. I still can’t distinguish the bird call of a brown shrike but I know they are noisy.
I also witnessed how the shrike tries to fight with a fantail for “territory.”
