Loggerhead shrikes are predatory passerines, which have a habit of stashing their kills on thorns or barbed wire fences for later (like a jaguar would). For such a small bird, they are pretty vicious and awesome.
Shrike nestlings. When I climb their tree to check the nest, the parents flap around the tree screeching at me.
Common nighthawks are odd looking birds. And very well camoflaged. Once, when checking this nest I thought the bird had abandoned the nest because I couldn't see it. Then I realized that I was staring right at it. They are also lazy birds. Why build a nest when you can just lay eggs on the ground?
