Loggerhead shrike

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because I am interested in birds, and I find the Loggerhead Shrike to be a fascinating bird. I do not know much about this type of bird, but I would like to, so I thought it would be beneficial to choose a topic I am especially excited to learn more about. After reading it, I did notice some gaps in the information that I would like to fill for other readers.

Evaluate the article
Overall, I thought this article was well organized. Each of the subheadings were pertinent to the topic and allowed for a balanced flow throughout the article. The introductory paragraph was brief and provided enough information for someone wanting an overview of the page. I think some of parts of the introductory paragraph could be rewritten to sound more professional/provide more details. I noticed a few gaps in the content of the page. Since the article mentions how similar the Loggerhead Shrike is to the Northern Shrike, I think it would be beneficial to add a larger section about differentiating between the two birds and providing key similarities/differences. I also think a further description of the subspecies of the Northern Shrike would enhance the page. I was feeling a bit confused about the relation of the subspecies when I was reading, so it would be something I'd like to clarify. The article is written with correct grammar and spelling. There are many very similar pictures in this article. It would be beneficial to add an image of the bird in flight and an image of the bird with its prey or during hunting. These two aspects are mentioned as important behaviors of this bird, so it would be nice to visualize them. The talk page contains questions about previously published content, which is valuable to read and would be starting points to adding clarifying content details into this article. Overall, I think there are many strengths of this article. The content aids in understanding the article, and some more content would enhance this article. The article is very well organized and is written with a professional, unbiased tone throughout. No sections seem to be over-written/too wordy. The conciseness of the page makes it easy to read and learn about the topic. I think the article is well developed but still needs a bit of work!
