I just saw a family with 4 young, all adult sized but with short tails. They probably had only been out of the nest a few days. I love them also, even though they are predators on other birds because they are both smart and beautiful. And this is a bird I see often here in Montana but have not yet been able to photograph. <br /><br />I also enjoyed the yellow-billed magpie which only lives in the Sacramento Valley of California when I volunteered at Sacramento NWR.

We so enjoyed their antics ... they may be like crows, but they are much more habituated to humans and dare to walk right up and snatch food from your plate. They are smart and clever and your pictures capture much of that personality. Hope you are having a safe, productive and definitely fun trip. Thank you for keeping the WBW alive and well in your absence.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.com
