Hi Art, Margie and list,
I did not see the bird this time, but I teach at Gray Middle School on
Tyler in that area, and I have seen a magpie on the school grounds a
couple times in the past few years. The last time was before I
subscribed to Tweeters, so it must have been at least three years ago.
Don't know if the recent sighting is related or not.
