American magpie guarding the hiking trail

Sadly, no more bird pics. I saw a Steller's Jay but couldn't get a good photo of it

More pictures from the hike on pixelfed!

How about that. I had not realized there were magpies in the United States.
- They’re common in some areas, like around me in Denver, but they’re one of my favorites! https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-billed_Magpie
  
  And look well-nigh identical to the UK Magpie - though the Latin name is different.
  
  A young one from yesterday for contrast:
Great photos! I love the teal on the Steller’s Jay! What a 90s bird :P
- Thanks! It's always nice to see a Steller's Jay, gotta love their mohawks and beautiful colors!
