This afternoon, I saw a shrike chasing down an immature male painted bunting that was on the feeder. When it got away, it started chasing one of several Palm Warblers in the backyard.

Other birds in the backyard include a resident black-throated blue male that's been here for several months.
We have 3 Painted Buntings: one male, one female, and an immature male.
We also have a catbird, baltimore oriole, female cardinal, and about 6 ruby-throated hummingbirds.

We are located about two and a half of miles northwest of A.D. Barnes park in Miami.
