Black Billed Magpie (Pica hudsonia)

The Black Billed Magpie is a common bird found throughout Alberta. It is an excellent scavenger that will eat almost anything. They're very intelligent and good at building large ball shaped nests out of sticks and twigs. They often harass other animals by squawking at them while perching nearby.
