River and the Magpie

Hello everyone, and happy Friday! Today, I wanted to share these photos I came across earlier this week. I was sitting with Sidekick and his band recently when a magpie flew in and bounced from mare to mare. It started by landing on Bella, then moved to River, and finally found a good spot on the back of Cowgirl. When it flew to River, however, I tried to grab a couple of photos, and this was the result. From my angle, it looked like it was about to fly smack into her face! It did land safely on her back, of course, but its route there made for some exciting photos. Enjoy this look at River and the Magpie!
