Two of a Kind

Since being on 365 I have discovered myself taking pictures of things that in the past I would simply have walked past before. Today I am going through some of my old pictures and I came across this shot. Magpies are such a common bird but I liked the fact that in this case there were two of them facing opposite directions sitting on a picket fence.
Who knows what else I may come across.
Have a great week everyone
There are some GREAT lines in this! The lines on the siding on the house, the brick of the foundation, the fence and the fantastic lines on the birds! How nice that they would pose that way for you!

Your magpies don't look as evil as our ones do! Its an excellent shot of them -so clear!
November 5th, 2013  
Great find. Awesome capture.
November 5th, 2013  
Wow- the ones around here are all black. These two look really good! Great catch!
November 5th, 2013  
Cool capture!
November 5th, 2013  
Awesome

November 5th, 2013  
love it!
November 5th, 2013  
nice
November 5th, 2013  
Great shot would be a shame not to post
November 5th, 2013  
Your magpies are so different from ours, great spotting Brian.
November 5th, 2013  
Awesome capture! And while these may be common, I haven't seen any black and white magpies here in Tucson, nor have I ever seen them facing opposite directions in any other photograph! So, thank you very much!
November 5th, 2013  
Fantastic capture of these birds! I just saw a pair in Colorado Springs this weekend and chased them a bit, but could not get the shot. I love the way you did capture them -- looking in both directions.
November 5th, 2013  
FAV. A brilliant shot as they are so difficult to capture.
November 5th, 2013  
Oh, I do like this. Definitely interesting to find two of them, and facing in opposite directions too, on the fence.
November 5th, 2013  
Know exactly what your talking about!! This is an awesome shot!!
November 5th, 2013  
Cool find Brian...super shot!
November 5th, 2013  
Love how they make an X together! Cool shot!

Magpies! Wow! I haven't seen them in 20 years had almost forgotten about them. They are a noisy bunch though aren't they? And get into EVERYTHING! Such a great composition here and you definitely caught their "best" side. :)
November 5th, 2013  
Great capture of this pair!
November 5th, 2013  
Haha, great shot! I agree that 365 makes you see things you wouldn't normally - Lucy
November 5th, 2013  
Great catch with them both looking different ways
November 5th, 2013  
Great capture of that beautiful birds. How nice the the way they stay opposite.
November 5th, 2013

They may be common to you but not to me. Such a pretty bird. I love how they are facing opposite directions.
November 5th, 2013  
Great capture. They may an X by facing opposite directions.
November 5th, 2013  
I agree, I see much more since I've been doing this project. Love the lines and crop of this shot, as well as the beautiful magpies.
November 5th, 2013  
Great catch and capture. They are really pretty birds.
November 5th, 2013  
Looks like they are on guard patrol or something together!
November 5th, 2013  
Grand capture!
November 5th, 2013  
very cool! I find myself doing the same. Pulling the car off the road to snap something I notice, lol!
November 5th, 2013  
So perfectly positioned.
