My daughter sent me this email and I could not give her any information on 
this.  Is her theory correct?

"I was sitting on the couch watching the bird bath, and a magpie flew down to 
it. It went straight in. Then it seemed to lift something out of the water in 
its beak. It looked like a lizard or a spider - it had some long bits hanging 
down. Then the magpie put its prey back into the water and held it down with 
its foot. It did this several times. After a few minutes it flew off with the 
prey in its claws.  I can only conclude it was drowning it."
