OTWUMASI Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I got two pictures of shrikes. I need to know if these are two different species of shrike. They live in Houston, Texas. What type of shrikes are these. Need them answered by today. With the first picture you can see the bill is shaped differently and it has yellow. Are these northern or loggerhead shrikes.

egosnell2002 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Definitely both Loggerhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Agreed...Loggerhead by range, small bill, and broader mask. Yellow on the first bird suggests juvenile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 As @HamRHead noted, only Loggerheads are found in Texas See the range map for Nothern Shrikes linked below. Even in winter, Northerns don't get that far south. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Shrike What's with the deadlines in your requests?
