The Magpies can smell a peanut from miles away. I think they have a secret spot where they can watch for a delivery!
A lot of people don't like Magpies, but I find them to be very interesting, and intelligent.
Neither snow, sleet, hail or cold stops Daphnie from retrieving her Kong on a rope. It stopped me after about 1/2 hour.
My Black Capped Chickadee has returned with a mate. Hopefully they will nest in one of our bird houses again. I read somewhere that they need an equivalent of 250 sunflower seed per day in order to survive at these temperatures!
Okay everybody, have a great weekend and think warmer, please!
Nice shots, Ian! Magpies are so beautiful! Your temps are so cold! Not warm here, but not cold like that!
