So similar to something like a loggerhead shrike, neat.

Diet wise, it sounds similar. This guy, being a raptor will kill with the feet, while the shrike's feet aren't built for that.

If you go back a few posts, I shared a shrike catching a coral snake that was pretty impressive. He won a standoff with a kestrel for who would get to eat it.
