Shrikes will first use lookout perches to establish their property lines (or breeding territory boundaries), and then to defend those property lines from unwanted visitors. Scanning their territory from these perches, if a predator is detected shrike will make alarm calls and chase them out of their territory. How cool!? They are their own security system! A useful lookout will be a high, exposed perches such as hydro poles, deciduous trees or snags (dead trees), where it\u2019s easy for the shrike to spot any predators, whether airborne or on the ground, that are encroaching on their territory. They don\u2019t need many of these, but it is important for a shrike to have one or two lookout perches so they can defend their territory from various angles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfk62v4x-287f3326b2b1993a36e01d333f2f3882\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk62v4x-287f3326b2b1993a36e01d333f2f3882 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk62v4x-287f3326b2b1993a36e01d333f2f3882 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfk62v4x-287f3326b2b1993a36e01d333f2f3882 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-37238 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37238 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/LOSHRBWO_PRathner_14012018-1-1.jpg' alt='' title='LOSHRBWO_PRathner_14012018-1'  height=\"217\" width=\"400\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk63fxx-49937d9e4f6c44dc284dc716670e22cf'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Spotted!

How do hunting perches differ from lookout perches, one may wonder? Well the answer is in the name. In contrast to the tall lookout perches shrike use to keep an eye on their territory, hunting perches are characterized as low perches up to 5 metres high, and are generally spaced 10-20 metres apart. Shrikes are able to spot prey from up to 30 metres away, which is why this spread of perches is advantageous for them. Shrikes most often look for fence posts, small trees or shrubs, rocks or utility wires as hunting perches. How innovative! With access to high-quality hunting perches, shrikes are able to use their unique predatory hunting strategy to locate and capture prey items. <em>We definitely don\u2019t want a \u2018 hangry\u2019 shrike!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfk65rzn-c38728326e16857f05b1edd8e44796ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk65rzn-c38728326e16857f05b1edd8e44796ee img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk65rzn-c38728326e16857f05b1edd8e44796ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfk65rzn-c38728326e16857f05b1edd8e44796ee av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-37235 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37235 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/LOSHonUtilityWire_SallySilko-1-1.png' alt='' title='LOSHonUtilityWire_SallySilko-1'  height=\"515\" width=\"474\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk664t4-bae0817db2d22fb18b22797149655bda'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Yes, shrikes use man-made structures, such as this utility wire, for hunting perches as well.

Options are important when choosing new real estate and for shrike having a variety of impaling site is key! Shrikes have been known to impale their prey items on dense, multi-stemmed or thorny shrubs or they can get pretty innovative and use barbed wire fence to impale their food. If the prey item is large enough shrike leave their impaled prey on their impaling sites for later. Shrikes enjoy a well-stocked pantry! The impaled food items also serve as mating displays to try and lock down their lady shrikes by presenting them with an easy food source. How thoughtful! So, in the quest for the best real estate, impaling sites are especially important for securing a mate and food handling.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfk68shq-9e79a93906e557df9dd5b6f4c4ab22ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk68shq-9e79a93906e557df9dd5b6f4c4ab22ee img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk68shq-9e79a93906e557df9dd5b6f4c4ab22ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfk68shq-9e79a93906e557df9dd5b6f4c4ab22ee av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-36  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-37236 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37236 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/LOSHonWire_LKirtley_06122007-1-1.jpg' alt='' title='LOSHonWire_LKirtley_06122007-1'  height=\"533\" width=\"799\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk6972t-08d213f6cb3386e2799f01b4c39eed22'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A shrike perched on barbed wire fence, a perfect spot for future prey impaling.
