Today I saw two magpies hanging out on a roof with two crows. They are cousins, but I’d never seen the two species just peaceably looking at the sunset together. No one was cawing or croaking or making whatever noises those birds make. There was room on the roof for them to be further apart, but the two crows and one of the magpies were really in the same space. The other magpie was at the end. I felt like they were spies, passing information.
I’ve been grooving on nature the last few days. The world sometimes seems so hopeless, but there’s so much beauty at the same time. While my area is having a drought, the weather has been almost perfect for days on end, cool at night, warm during the day, fall colours slowing taking over.
It was nice to see the two different species hanging out together. Maybe there’s hope for us all.
