These are thru the windows with the OM-1 and 40-150 lens. I believe the younger the magpie, the shorter the tail. The first was supposed to be of the starling but the magpie in the background is a good example of an adult tail. The tail is as long as the bird. The last two show different lengths. Hope you find this tidbit interesting.
Very cool, Barbara

Nice photos. I like the beauty of magpies. I presume these were taken in New Mexico. Is that correct? I hav3e lived in Belize, the USA (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oregon, California, Kansas, and Virginia) and Albania and surrounding countries but never saw a magpie.
Then eight or nine years ago we were in Barcelona, Spain, for a few days and saw numerous ones. --Richard
