Why it matters
The red-backed shrike is noted for its distinctive behavior of impaling prey on thorns or barbed wire, a strategy that helps these birds manage their food supply. Their pointed wings and notched tails reflect a migratory lifestyle, as these birds travel impressive distances between their breeding grounds in Europe and their wintering territories in Africa.
