Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike

The bird known as the black faced cuckoo shrike Is one who does not have a look alike Dark around the face and body feathers bluish gray They are birds i do not see every day On flimsy stick nest on outer branch of fork of tree The female lays her blotched green eggs of two to three In places where trees are plentiful them one does see And they are not restricted to a territory Medium sized birds they are not big or small Distinctive in their pleasant churring call On alighting on a branch to shuffle their wings to them a familiar thing Which gives rise to the other name they are known by of Shufflewing The black faced cucko shrike you see today Tomorrow may be many miles away On small fruits and insects they do live Just learning of birds such pleasure to me give.
