Hi Gang:
Harriet is absolutely right. Although Magpies don't normally inhabit the central and eastern portions of the USA, they are somewhat plentiful in the western half of our country. I have never heard anything "superstitious" about this species of bird who happens to be a cousin of the Crow and Raven. In the southern USA, there are plenty of interesting "legends" about the Raincrow (Yellow Billed Cuckoo) who is a cousin of the Roadrunner.
Thanks for an interesting post. In my younger years I was an amateur ornithologist.
All my best to all of you for a Happy and Successful 2006. RICE
