Re: [cobirds] Magpie Madness in west Centennial

Maybe that's why Merlin had BBMA as my "bird of the day"!

Hello Fellow Birders,

 

   The magpies must have had a great nesting season because they are everywhere in the vicinity of my little townhouse yard in west Centennial, near Holly St & Arapahoe Rd.   And everywhere else it seems.  This morning my wife & I walked the Greenwood Gulch Trail northwest from Orchard Road to its merger with the Highline Canal trail, and the magpies were everywhere along that route as well.  I just counted 17 in my postage-stamp-size yard, while there were many more on the small front lawns of the townhouses on our cul-de-sac.  Between them and the 3  food-begging fledgling Red-Tailed Hawks who came out of a nearby tree nest a week or so ago it's been pretty noisy around here.

Keep Smilin',
