Lanius cabanisi
(L 12-12.5" Wt 2.4-2.8 oz)
Nairobi National Park
18Oct2014
In the Shrike family, Laniidae
...may capture insects flushed
by foraging weavers.
Grey back distinguishes it
from the Common Fiscal.
I consider myself to have been the
bridge between the shotgun and the
binoculars in bird watching. Before I
came along, the primary way to
observe birds was to shoot them and
stuff them.
(Roger Tory Peterson)
Lanius in Latin means butcher.
