re: #193 ericblair

As an American moving to Europe, usually the first bird issue that pops up is finding out that that weird crow-ish bird with the white bands is what a magpie actually looks like. Know the name, never seen one before, don’t see them in zoos, good to know. Noisy bastards.

A few times this summer those little fuckers have squawked at top volume right outside my bedroom window. More of those flying around than any other bird around these parts (southern Rockies).
