Sure, some magpies are trespassing on others’ territory, but the food is too good to pass. So it ends up being a game of cat and mouse and within minutes all morsels are airlifted by these diligent flyers. The more enterprising individuals sometimes load two pieces in their beak making for a harder take off, but that must be one of the hardships of winter living in a high altitude desert!

Lunch is served!
It’s snowy, bitter cold outside, and it must be pretty awful to be a Park City magpie. To alleviate our local birds’ suffering, Evelyne lines up snacks on the railing of our balcony and we get a steady stream of birds flying over to take delivery of their portions.
