Why are you reporting this puzzle?

The "little black and white singing hawk," as the native Americans of New Jersey called it. Shrikes are songbirds that behave like small hawks, catching insects, small rodents, and even small birds. They impale their catch on thorns like those seen in this photo as their feet are not as powerful as those of actual raptors.

Photographed in AZ in January, 2016.

And that's too bad. It was always a delight to see a shrike in NJ. Sadly, they are in serious decline here in AZ as well. 25 years ago I could count on seeing one when I was out birding, but now I can go all year without the pleasure of bumping into one any where I go.

Alas, they're gone from New Jersey now, and endangered in much of the US.
