Butcher Bird aka Loggerhead Shrike

from $30.00

Don't be fooled by the sweet face—this small bird has a dark side. Meet the Butcher Bird, also known as the Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus). This seemingly innocent songbird is a surprisingly fierce predator, known for impaling its prey on thorns and barbed wire to save for later.

Each print is pressed by hand from a carved linoleum block using rich oil-based ink on recycled French Paper Company paper. Because each one is printed manually, slight variations will occur—adding to the unique charm of each piece.
