Young Magpie
This young magpie and another were scouring the neighbours yard for a possible scrap or two, but did not seem to be having much luck. I say young only because of how short the tailfeathers are. Although I do miss many of the sweet songs that are heard around the yard in Spring and early Summer, I have to say that I have come to accept the sounds of the magpies in late summer, which are not always sweet sounding. Sometimes their squawking can be down right annoying, but on the other side of the coin it can be much fun to hear them converse with each other, or listen in on one of their squabbles they may have with the Crows.
