Loggerhead Shrike

Just down the street from my parents house they have built a new 487-acre preserve. They are trying to return the land, shore, and marshes to a natural state. They have a lot of biking, walking, and paddling trails.

Robinson Preserve is located in northwestern Bradenton, in the Palma Sola area, across the street from the Palma Sola Botanical Gardens.

While visiting we saw a Loggerhead Shrike, egrets, ibis, vultures, osprey, little blue heron, great blue heron, redish egret, and an assortment of shore birds.
