Maggie

We had a magpie visit us each morning. It would wait for us to throw out our bacon rind and leftovers after breakfast each morning.

It would wait hiding behind the tree and peeking around the side to see if we had gone.

Now it brings along its baby to feed as well. I think they are so intelligent, I just had to attempt a sketch in charcoal.

I don't know how well this will appear as I just took a photo of my drawing.

**Note from Kerry:
The photo turned out really well, Gracie. I think your drawing is terrific, it's a perfect interpretation of the Aussie magpie.
