Lanius ludovicianus
Loggerhead shrike. The bird has a large hooked bill; the head and back are grey and the underparts white. The wings and tail are black, with white patches on the wings and white on the outer tail feather. The black face mask extends over the eye, unlike that of the similar but slightly larger northern shrike. "Loggerhead" refers to the relatively large size of the head as compared to the rest of the body.
