Such is the age we live in. Leo Weigant >>> mcdanieljr@EARTHLINK.NET 11/17/03 09:15AM >>> There is a commercial running (product escapes me) with a group of large birds (corvids?) sitting on a wire (line?). They look sort of like magpies but when I went to my books, I didn't think so (as I remember -- the birds in the ad have a band of white across the chest instead of a white belly for magpies). Anyone know what these birds are? (As an aside, I find it strange -- even if they are magpies -- to use a bird that is very uncommon in the eastern US for an ad.)
