“ Swooping Intentions ”
That look of "intent to swoop" is enough to make me shiver! Australian Magpies are a beautiful bird with a very melodious song - but when it's breeding season, some male Magpies will defend the nest aggressively. They will swoop at anything that they feel is a threat to their chicks including ...

    The bird definitely looks fearful. Beautiful focus on the eye!

    Oh I know that look. I have been attacked a couple of times and it’s rather scary! It is a lovely photo and I do love magpies really, especially their song!

    I hate creatures that fly at my head! This is lovely! The focus on the eyes, the sky background and point of view, the detailed feathers! Marvelous, Karen!

    These birds are so beautiful! I've never gotten to see these birds in person, but I've always wanted to. (they're SO SMART)… more

    This guy looks intense and very mean at the moment.. I definitely can tell he's SERIOUS about his mating season lol
    *he's actually giving you the evil eye* 

    As a child.. into adulthood I was so scared of birds.  Terrified.  I still kind of am.  However when my oldest child was about 18months old  (he's 15 now) I decided to face my fear and buy a parakeet.  It helped so much with my fears.  I'm not cured or anything, still a little scared at times and give respect to birds but I'm much better than I was lol.

    Great shot and description.  And beautiful details.. that evil eye.. has me creeped out! lol great colors and contrast too against the bright blue sky. I love it
