Wednesday Word: Bokmakierie
Bokmakierie - noun.
It's been a while since I posted a bird word! The bokmakierie is a member of the shrike family and found in Southern Africa. Like other shrikes, it preys on other birds, frogs, insects, and lizards. It's name comes from one of it's particular calls, bok-bok-mak-kik, which you can hear in this video.
