Carden Alvar is one of the last remaining strongholds of the
endangered Loggerhead Shrike in Ontario. Only 5 pairs were reported
here in late May 2018.
Two juveniles sat more in the open while one hid
itself deeper in the hawthorn bush. One swooped down into the grass
to catch food for itself.
We hope they are successful, migrate safely to
their wintering grounds, and return next spring. Carden Alvar on 26
June 2018
