Just a question but does this bird really relate to the shrikethrush- Somali fiscal is a shrike but does not have shrike it its name and a shrike thrush is also not in the shrike family (Laniidae). It would be like following up a kingbird with a pied flycatcher.Lots of shrikes to play! Including my avatar (which I'll play some other time).

Somewhat precise for this thread, but allow me to fix it. I'll change 2579 to Loggerhead Shrike and use Somali Fiscal here.Just a question but does this bird really relate to the shrikethrush- Somali fiscal is a shrike but does not have shrike it its name and a shrike thrush is also not in the shrike family (Laniidae).

2585. Northern Flicker - my backyardShrikethrush contains shrike and another bird that is a shrike is... It was fine as would be Kingbird to Pied Flycatcher - both flycatchers... We will need more tenuous and more tenuous have been played.
Another fiscal...
