Pie-grièche boréale / Northern Shrike (Lanius borealis)

Durant la journée de vendredi, j'ai assisté à trois attaques-poursuites entre la pie-grièche boréale et une mésange à tête noire qui se sont soldés par trois réussites! Des scènes assez impressionnantes de montées, de descentes et de virages brusques pour se terminer par la capture des mésanges. L'observation des proies et le repas de l'une d'elles s'est fait dans un érable de l'amour.

During the day on Friday, I witnessed three chase attacks between the Northern Shrike and a Black-capped Chickadee that ended in three successes! Quite impressive scenes of climbs, descents and sudden turns to end with the capture of the chickadees. The observation of the prey and the meal of one of them took place in an Amur maple.

An exciting event to witness and a great image to accompany the story. I can see feathers in his beak!

An excellent photo of this somewhat drab shrike, Pierre. They are certainly feisty little birds!

Bien saisie dans cet environnement hivernal et cet entremêlement de branches dépouillées qui masquent en partie son congénère.
