We have Magpies all over the place here. When you look at them, they are quite beautiful birds, with their distinct black and white colorings and various shades of greens and blue mixed in. Because I see them so often, I don’t take too many pictures of them, but they are beautiful and deserve some recognition too.









There is beauty all around, even in the everyday things we sometimes take for granted. Sometimes all we need to do is to take another look at things we see everyday. We will be amazed at what we actually might see.
I was fascinated by magpies when we first moved to Colorado. We didn’t have them in Mississippi or Alabama.

I always thought they were pretty universal. I guess not. 🙂

Magpies are beautiful and smart but unfortunately cruel (to rabbit kittens, and smaller birds). I used to see them all the time when I still lived in Sweden. It was a very common bird there. However, I have not seen them here in Texas. I see other corvids all the time though.

I didn’t know they were so mean. I know they are scavengers though. Maybe their beauty is only skin deep. 🙂

Well they can be pretty cruel when killing birds and young rabbits, but so can other corvids, like crows.

They are part of the same family, which makes sense they they would have a lot of similar traits.

I have never seen Magpies in Pennsylvania, but I have seen them on YouTube in Europe, and are quite the mischief makers and love to harass cats.
