These beautiful birds will lose more of their home if further mining proceeds in McDermitt Caldera. Where will they live when the mines go in? They will probably die (since other shrike territory is already taken).

@WLDefense Loggerhead Shrike in McDermitt Caldera amid lithium claims. The hooked bill is for nabbing big insects, little birds, voles, and small snakes - and then sometimes impaling them on thorns, broken branches, barbed wire. Quite the powerful predatory songbird.
Beauty and life on land slated for destruction for lithium. #DefendTheLand!!
