It was another super hot and smokey day. I took Brooklyn for a swim and long walk. The only critters wandering about were some magpies, a Blue Wing Teal (female), and two sandpipers(?)
It's hard to get magpies in flight. I may have to bait them with a pile of popcorn, if I can keep myself from eating it all. :-}
These were only about 10 feet off shore, but it looks a lot farther.
love the magpies. don't get them here.
ReplyDeleteI love magpies. They look so exotic, especially in flight! Noisy, though!I recall them getting into the garbage bins...
ReplyDeleteIt is hot and smokey - no one wants to be out including the birds.
ReplyDeleteNice Magpie shots - I can never get that close to one of them.
