It starts with one lizard. Then one day you find nothing can stop the urge to impale a second lizard. It escalates to a grasshopper (bigger and fatter than a lizard). Where will this take us?
It is hard to say when a Shrike begins a love affair with a Live Oak. It is however a six foot tree and a Shrike is bound to think the tree is cluttered pretty soon.
(I should mention I spotted a L. Shrike sitting out on our deck railing. Had I not spotted the lizard the other day I would not have brushed up on I.D. skills needed to appreciate the difference between a Shrike and a Mocking Bird).
