This was taken in my backyard today, I went upstairs and Mom pointed out the multitude of Magpies. I've always wanted to get a picture of a magpie. I mean a decent one, not like a snapshot of one pecking the ground. I think i did that here. They keep eluding my autofocus whenever I visit Garden of the Gods, so when they finally decided to visit my back yard, naturally, I took a few pictures, went out on the deck too. Surprisingly, a few turned out really good. I chose this one for the detail in the wings and consistency of the background.
Today is our last day at home before the big trip! I'm off to Michigan tomorrow, and we'll be stopping in a few cities along the way. We're driving all the way so it should take about 3 days. We arrive in my dad's hometown, Escanaba, on thursday and I should be able to get some interesting pictures on the way.

ooo thats pretty. i've always like magpies.(totally butchered it i know shut up) my mom says they're annoying but i think they're pretty :-) cool pic nerd.
This is a wonderful picture of the magpie. Capturing the flight so detailed in stroke is amazing. These birds are beautiful -- a backyard full of them must have been truly awesome!
