Bad Luck

This is the Loggerhead Shrike (butcher) who sneaks up on song birds by pretending to be one and then holds them down and eats them. The second picture is the Downey woodpecker. Unfortunately for him/her, looks pretty similar to the Shrike with the dark mask around the face and eyes. Each morning when the Downey gets here all the song birds scatter. The Downey will peck on wood on the Cottonwood or Desert Willow and almost immediately the song birds return.
