The Vacant Lot of Eden Municipal Wilderness Area
Bossy and Wrath, the magpie couple who reside in one of our spruce trees have another two juveniles hopping around our backyard this month. You might recall our introduction to them in this post from last spring. Consequently, whenever Hannah or I go out into the yard, or even appear in one of The Suite’s windows, one of the parent birds will take a perch about an arm’s length away from us and peck a branch, fence-board, or banister rail, all the while squawking some bossy message that we’re not to approach their adolescent offspring.
Yesterday, one of their moulty chicks was standing on our back deck. And at the same time, General Woundwort was lounging in his favourite spot in the Vacant Lot of Eden. There was a lot of wildlife traffic in our backyard yesterday.
