This means they can\u2019t hold onto their prey with their feet and instead have developed a unique method of making their prey into bite-sized pieces: Once they catch their prey, shrikes dispatch them using the long hooked bill to sever the spinal cord, then they will bring it to something sharp and spiky \u2013 typically a large thorn of a hawthorn bush or piece of barbed wire \u2013 where they skewer it and tear it to pieces. Sometimes they will leave some for later, a behaviour we call \u201cfood caching\u201d, in case of bad weather or to prepare for a future shortage of food.<\/p>\n<p>So far we\u2019ve been able to witness several male shrikes foraging for food and returning to feed the female while she sits on the nest keeping the eggs warm (who doesn\u2019t love a guy that can serve up the best grub?!), but we suspect that our birds are mainly hunting smaller insect prey at this time as we haven\u2019t been able to find food caches or see much of the prey that they are catching. We are hopeful that with the arrival of chicks we will be able to see more as the season progresses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfk8czo6-70cabb8d5322581ffaab0da388f977f1\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk8czo6-70cabb8d5322581ffaab0da388f977f1 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk8czo6-70cabb8d5322581ffaab0da388f977f1 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfk8czo6-70cabb8d5322581ffaab0da388f977f1 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  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-37291 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37291 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220510_092745283-1-scaled-1.jpg' alt='' title='IMG_20220510_092745283-1-scaled'  height=\"1440\" width=\"2560\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk8dler-27ba0f1c4313749ba9ccb10ea8622e75'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em> One of our first shrike sightings was of this individual, which I was lucky enough to get a shot of through the scope as it roused its feathers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk8ex3q-d4fbb47ae8e892248d3d328262d439ce'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>May started off on the cooler side compared to last year, so nesting seems to be going a little slower. Even so, we have been able to find five pairs with nests. Three of our nests have hatched and one of these is already nearing fledging (leaving the nest) which means that pair wasted no time in laying after returning from their wintering grounds in late April. The pair was very secretive and we heard babies begging only one time prior to the nest check, so we had no idea the chicks would turn out to be around <strong>15 days old<\/strong> (post hatching) when we found them. It was such an awesome surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Another two nests hatched on or around May 31st as well, so we\u2019re just waiting to see when the other two (of which there were SIX eggs in one), and five \u2013 the average \u2013 hatch. We are so excited to share their progress as they grow and develop into fully fledged shrikes!<\/p>\n<p>Getting to see the chicks of such a rare bird is a privilege and it makes us feel so appreciative of the efforts of WPC and the support of the partnering organizations and private landowners and cattle ranchers to ensure their survival.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfk8fzdu-9e2658144fa4f17705156a32296ebe27\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk8fzdu-9e2658144fa4f17705156a32296ebe27 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfk8fzdu-9e2658144fa4f17705156a32296ebe27 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfk8fzdu-9e2658144fa4f17705156a32296ebe27 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-16  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-37294 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37294 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220530_080056239_HDR-4-scaled-1.jpg' alt='' title='IMG_20220530_080056239_HDR-4-scaled'  height=\"1440\" width=\"2560\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk8gmyd-c67a87e1f01e369550669b93ee54ca1d'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em> Julie checking out some cows that snuck up on us during a survey in May<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-1co2rjv-2d5795bc7fdaac151f66a3bea007a939 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-16251'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1zmsm3-91647789dc45720f9092702defbaf64f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-19  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk8hg81-76afe0b314609030f871a820984dbebb'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Ashlea Veldhoen<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Carden Biologist \u2013 Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Program<\/h5>\n<p>Ashlea Veldhoen has been working with birds in various capacities including captive wild birds in an educational setting, wildlife rehabilitation, bird banding stations and as an ornithological research technician where she first learned to do nest searches for pairs of semipalmated plovers in Churchill, MB with Dr. Erica Nol.
