Black-billed Magpie – A Short Flight Series
I rarely post photos of the same species two days in a row but yesterday I spent more time with magpies and I like these two images well enough to make an exception. More than well enough, actually.
It’s Nest-building Time For Black-billed Magpies

A Visit From Shannon

Yesterday’s Tundra Swans And The Frustrations Of Bird Photography
Sage Thrasher Performing The Bilateral Wing Display
Male Sage Thrashers sometimes perform this display all day long but it’s sporadic, almost impossible to predict and they’re shy about doing it so it’s difficult tp photograph well.
