DAY 217: THE HIGHWAYMAN


Because of its hooded eyes, the beautiful Brown Shrike has aptly earned the nickname 'highwayman.'

Cute it may look, but it is actually a very noisy, conspicuous and very aggressive character.  It preys on large insects, small birds and mammals, as well as bats and mice.  

When one considers it's size (small) and the size of its prey, it makes sense that it's Creator decided to equip it with an aggressiveness that enables it to boldly tackle and subdue the type of creature upon which it feeds.
