Nice spotting, Karen. I know these birds as peewee's. The name magpie-lark is confusing because it is neither a magpie, nor a lark. Regardless, you have both a male and female here. They are usually in pairs. The male has the black throat and the female is white.

" Every spotting is a puzzle piece in the jigsaw puzzle of life. When the picture begins to appear, there is no reason to cease working." nice intro.This quote makes so much sense.

Thank you. It's a depressing day in Oregon - this is helping pass the time :)
