Pie

Magpie Versailles pie
VDP remembers magpies from her childhood but it seems we have more and more of them, far more than when she was a kid!

VDP se souvient des pies de son enfance mais il semblerait que nous en ayons de plus en plus !

  3. Same here, more and more. Aren't they attracted to shiny objects or is that an old wives tale? Taxi picture tomorrow...

  4. Well, you are lucky. This is a beauty, and so far as I know, there aren't any in this part of Florida.

  5. We have an area about an hour north of Santa Fe where you can see them. They never travel this far south.
