This is the thirty-fifth image in my Back Where I Belong series.

As I was walking back to my car after taking the sunset shots tonight, the magpie on the right kept stopping and looking at me. I took a couple of shots of it before it flew up into the branches of a tree about 10 feet off the ground.

That's when the little peewee on the left flew in and tried to get the magpie to leave. Peewees are very territorial and think nothing of swooping on other things much bigger than they are if they feel threatened. I even saw one attacking cars on the way to work this morning.

Anyway, at one point, both birds were sitting on the same branch and I was lucky enough to capture the pair of them.

EDIT: I adjusted the brightness and contrast on this one, so it's easier to see the birds.
