Leaving

This Northern Shrike turned down our offer of tofu, preferring to impale small birds and rodents.

Not the best IQ - image quality - on feet and facing away from the camera, of course. I think I heard, No Tofu!, as it flew.

 

Wimp.

 

'A predatory songbird, the Northern Shrike breeds in taiga and tundra and winters in southern Canada and the northern United States. It feeds on small birds, mammals, and insects, sometimes impaling them on spines or barbed wire fences.'
