Ah, another fine magpie day. #SpookyKittiesMagpies #Magpies #MagpiesOfMastodon #Corvid #CorvidsOfMastodon #Wildlife #wildlifephotography #bird #birds

I wish I could give the magpies large nuts all the time. They all spend time contemplating how to get as many in their beak as they can. Most give up after 1, but some are really good at jamming them in there. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon #SpookyKittiesMagpies

The biggest lesson the magpies gave taught me is sometimes you just need to yell out to the world. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Huh? What happened to the box? #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Always dip your peanuts into water before eating. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Happy to see that my love injured magpie friend is still around. A bit more ruffled than the rest of the magpies, but appears to be getting eating enough that it isn't gorging on my offerings. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

With apologies to my magpies friends, I did laugh. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Should I jump back into the water?
YES!
Should I have really jumped back into the water? #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Hooray!! It is my day with the magpies! It is easy to tell now when my yard is their main foraging yard of the day as they make a huge mess digging through the box on those days. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Closest I have ever been to a magpie. Went to give out one last snack of the day, which caused most to scatter. But, a couple stayed close by, including this one who stayed on the table until I got really close. Not sure why, hoping it is a sign they are more comfortable with my presence. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

3 days in a row with magpie swarms, though, like yesterday, it was only until they ate everything. With temp basically out as a reason, I am now focused on the details of rotating foraging hypothesis. I suspect their main foraging for the day is somewhere else, with my yard simply being a snack. They will be back to properly forage in a couple days

So many, many magpies today! So many baths taken! So much soil flung all over that table! So many one crow spotted in my yard finally! #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

No bathtub, only perching. #magpie #birds #bird #wildlife #magpies #corvid #BlackBilledMagpie #MagpiesOfMastodon #CorvidsOfMastodon

Apparently, the magpies are using the water bowl as a bathtub. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Mayhaps I should put out a bigger bowl to make the task easier...

I convinced him to move because he's such a pretty boy! Appealing to their vanity almost always works.
