Your beautifully marked bird with the blue-black feathers would go well with my blue horses! I love the fuzzy white underside -- almost like feathery snow! Thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon

This is a gorgeous looking bird,love the contrast of dark and white feathers.Very intelligent look in it's eye.Wonderful photo that is very sharp with natural colors,it even has a bit of water or snow on the end of the beak.Good capture of the iridescence on the wing feathers.Always a pleasure to view birds that I don't have here!

These are magnificent birds. I like the pose captured and how it shows off the colors and markings, as well as a great view of his face. The snow on the end of his beak is great!

Pat,
A beautiful picture of my Magpie,'s Alaskan cousin waiting on the railing out side your back door the light showing off it's beautiful iridescent plumage & catching the light in it's eye. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

A beautiful bird that I rarely see around my place. I love this profile and the fine composition. A beautiful exposure that holds detail in both the black and white plumage.

What a gorgeous bird! Great job centering and establishing a point of focus. Wonderful details. I had no idea that these birds were so intelligent. I learned something new today!

Very nice framing of the magpie. He is perfectly posed. He stands out against the background well . The close-up is well focused and the lighting is excellent. I enjoyed viewing it.
