Buck Meets Magpie

I caught this moment behind our house in Durango, July 2015. The magpie came swooping in and landed softly on the buck's butt and sat there. The buck kept eating, head down. The magpie just sat there. Then the buck twitched his tail. Magpie didn't move. Buck raised his head, turned around to look at the magpie, and they met nose-to-nose. The buck went back to eating, and the magpie sat there for a few more moments, then flew off, satisfied that he had accomplished his shenanigans. :)
