Posing Magpie.

I was shooting bees with my 180mm macro lens when this juvie magpie dropped in for a chat. He was too close to get a full body shot, so I had no choice to take a few partial shots. I tried moving further away but he just kept following me, lol. Downloading is recommended.

Beautiful bird, and you can sense the intelligence in the staring eyes. Excellent shots, Earl.

Love these, Earl. Was he wanting to discuss photography? He obviously had something on his mind.

Looks like he was posing for animal crackers and now wants to get paid. Nice series.

Is this the same little friend who likes to hang out with you? He sure is a handsome fellow. Your pictures are outstanding!

Excellent shots Earl. I will have to seek out a magpie or two in Queensland to see how they compare, although they have a reputation for being quite aggressive up here.
