Offer can stand until 2-20-13 cause after that hes gettin stale

Wyoming Fish and Game was contacted and they did NOT want the carcass.  It was destined
to reside in the dead animal pit at the landfill so I thought maybe someone would want …

Pretty…

Is that a magpie? We don’t get anything like that in this half of the country.

Wow, those are beautiful feathers. Interesting that the body is black & white and the tail is, uh… awesome for lack of a better term. Hazel maybe?

sure looks like a mag pie

We do have wood ducks

My friends that is turquoise in them feathers.

They are Irridescent green/aqua/blue/copper/violet/black like carnival glass!
Magpie is the correct entity…
Wood Ducks are here as well, they are another great to see plumage.

Ooeee. Nice!

Carnival glass!  ;D

Seems we in the west take regularly this bird for granted. 
It really is an amazingly beautiful corvid
and is commonly slapped with derision and lead across its range.

Cool that as you move south…they turn into magpie-jays.
This is my all-time favorite, although I never got to see one:

A black-billed magpie to be specific.
