The Magnificent Seven Magpie Chicks
A magpie couple nested in a maple tree just outside my house. The seven chicks came down over the last three days. There are no photos of the parents. Magpies are so skittish that they won't feed the chicks if they see you. I had to respect their distance during meals which is the only time that the parents show up. For the same reason I didn't get a shot of all seven since the only time they were all together was late when they wanted to chill.
