miiraleeDescription
Magpies own the carpark at Costco. It's not uncommon for there to be 40+ of them in the carpark, on the building, and on the hill at the end of the carpark. A group of 5 had claimed a small truck in the carpark and were standing all over it while singing in a a chorus. The bird in the second image was drinking from a puddle of water that had collected on the truck.
