Status of the loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) in Alberta

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the loggerhead shrike, a bird of open grasslands that are interspersed with trees and shrubs for nesting. Shrikes are unique among songbirds in that the diet of many species regularly includes vertebrate prey. The loggerhead shrike is included on the list of species in Alberta that are experiencing long-term population declines. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
