I've heard that certain threatened bird species are affected by the clearing of trails in wooded areas of Florida. It has been claimed that these trails make nests vulnerable to predation by the "butcher" bird. Is the "butcher bird the Loggerhead Shrike or a non-native species?
I believe the butcherbird is a synonym for the Loggerhead shrike: Craig R. 1978. An analysis of the predatory behavior of the Loggerhead Shrike.

Can anyone point me to additional information?

Just out of curiosity, if the species is of least concern according to the IUCN, how is it that within the body of the article it is described as "critically endangered" in Canada? 75.27.166.91 ( talk) 21:37, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
I see nothing re the size of these birds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.124.202 ( talk) 17:27, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
