Crow

I'm not sure what the bird is, but it's a terrific and interesting shot. (However, I don't think it's a magpie. They have gorgeous long white feathers in their tails. VERY elegant looking.)

Note the yello eye, slim beak, and long lean body. I'd say its a Great-tailed Grackle http://www.birds.cornell.edu/programs/urbanbirds/BirdGuide/ubs_UBPGuideGreattailGrackleEN.html

I live on the East Coast. I was out West(Vegas) I do think they look different it is bigger and longer it even sound different .This particular crow was taken on the "strip" I assume it is used to having humans in close proximity.

nice shot, like the contrast between the black bird and the airiness of the pine fronds. And the yellow eye of course. Our crows look a bit different to this. haven't seen one with as long a tail as this one has.

I like how that yellow eye is checking you out!

This is a great shot of the crow. How did you manage to get so close. Our's fly away as soon as they see you. I did have a pet crow once...they are very smart.
