As I have been doing my daily walks around Cherry Creek State Park (the west side), I’ve seen large flocks of magpies as well. Last week there was a flock of about 25 on the ground. This morning, there were two flocks flying over — each with about 30-40 birds.
I don’t remember seeing that last year, for sure!
