Black-billed magpie

McArthur Island

Kamloops, B.C.

 

I'm not a birder and I don't really have the lens for bird photography but I could get into it, nevertheless, if they were all as easy to photograph as this attractive fellow. Until a bit of internet research, I'd had no idea that magpies were members of the crow family. It explains a lot -- they're inquisitive, clever and a bit cheeky.
