Australian Birds: The Curious Currawong
So here I am, doing the dishes, when I spot this fine fellow out my back window. I just *had* to go take some pictures of him. It's a currawong, not a magpie. Still has the long beak, and most piercing of yellow eyes. It spots me as soon as I hit the back step. Pretty soon, it's checking me out, just as much as I'm checking it out. And, it's not happy when I move closer. It left shortly afterwards, but I'm sure I'll see it again :-)
