Lately, I've notice a pair of Magpies doing a lot of squawking over by Noah's pasture. The other day I looked up and saw a huge nest. Today when I looked out in the field, it was apparent that Mama and Papa Magpie were giving flying lessons to their brood.
These are some of the youngsters on the fence.
Mama squawks from the power line overhead.
Papa sits in the tree squawking flight commands until they all end up over on the branches. It was quite fun to watch! Just call me bird lady! I've sure had fun bird watching this spring!
