This is the baby magpie I feed. It called out to let me know it was right above my head, hanging in the gutter. Lens aperture F/3.2, shutter speed 1/388sec, focal length 44mm, taken yesterday at 6:30pm.

How cute!
Doesn't have that hardened criminal look of the birds that come here LOL #7049136

Chris Ebben January 18, 2009

Thanks, I'm pleased you both like it. It's learning, it calls out for the mother to feed it but when it comes back alone, it can eat OK!! It's very amusing. #7049139

Chris- I love that blue sky. I like the POV, the way the magpie is looking down at you. What do you feed it? He is a cute little bugger.

Have a great day. #7077196
