Second piece in my series of human infrastructures unintentional effects on wildlife.
the photo I used as direct reference was taken by @strangebiology & used with permission! You can find the whole album on flickr here.
I fell in love with these pictures cause i just think there is such a beauty to them. But also it starts making you think more about human infrastructure.
Idk but i think a lot of us think about fences as benign in the landscape but working on this piece i started thinking more abt, what do fences keep in? What do they keep out? And what do they disrupt or harm? intentionally or not.

Saw that you were a big fan of shrikes, and wanted to know if you have any favorite fun facts about them :] ?
Everyone knows the whole "impaling prey for later" fact and acts horrified which is lame its cool
BUT did you know that Northern Shrikes will imitate the songs of other small birds to lure them close enough to hunt? That is also cool as hell
Loggerhead shrikes are also so much littler than you think. You see them in person and go oh that's just a little guy. Tiny thing
