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.

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. #7049139Michelle L. Frick January 18, 2009
