	Shrike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A shrike is a passerine bird of the family Laniidae which is known for its habit of catching other birds and small animals and impaling the uneaten portions of their bodies on thorns, so that it can tear them into smaller, more conveniently-sized fragments.
		A typical shrike's beak is hooked, like a bird of prey, reflecting its predatory nature.
		Shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of their habit of keeping a "larder" of corpses.

	N.S. Brown Shrike (Lanius cristatus): Photographs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Clearly visible is the eye patch which extends from the base of the bill across the ear coverts; the broad and white supercilium; the russet flush to the breast and belly; and the relatively dense russet-brown of the mantle (in comparison to the crown).
		These are all characters that help to distinguish the Brown Shrike from the Isabelline.They incline one to believe that subspecific identity of the bird was Lanius cristatus cristatus.
		This is the southernmost of the four subspecies of Brown Shrike (breeding in Korea and the southern half of China) and would therefore be the least likely to be expected in North America.

		Dubbed kajolpakhi by Rabindranath Tagore because of a streak of fl on its eyes, the shrike, slightly smaller than the common mynah, is also called the ‘butcher bird’ for its habit of impaling live insects and reptiles on thorns, creating a sort of larder for itself.
		Interestingly, the birds were spotted in the height of summer, when even the visiting brown shrikes fly north.
		In August, when the brown shrikes began arriving, Sen and Chatterjee again took photographs and compared them with their snaps of the mystery birds.

	Nova Scotia Brown Shrike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		On 26 November 1997, I was fortunate to be among about a couple of dozen birders who saw the Brown Shrike that Roger Foxall had discovered in Halifax, N.S., on 23 November.
		Ian McLaren, having consulted much relevant literature, is of the opinion that this bird is a Brown Shrike Lanius cristatus of the race cristatus from northeastern Asia.
		I had the impression of a pale buff margin at the tip of at least a couple of feathers but that was hard to judge because the tail was so often in motion.

		I have this photo of a Brown Shrike taken from inside the house which I like very much.
		Back at the computer, I carefully cloned in the green background and also cloned in the brown bit of feathers onto the bird - filling in the blanks as it were to remove the blurred branches.
		I also have to copy the left leg from another brown shrike picture as I do not have anything to clone from.
