Looks like a magpie (Yehren checks)... It is a magpie, but not the same genus as the one common in Europe and Asia.

Has that scavenger look... :)

All members of the crow family are remarkably intelligent, but Magpies are supposedly the most intelligent among them.

I've seen a group of crows in Seattle run off seagulls from a pile of spilled food; they took turns eating and threatening the gulls so that they could share among themselves, exclusive access to the find.

I was in a bird sanctuary, when I suddenly was aware of this egret, high overhead. I had a long lens, and the camera was set to overexposure. I just swung up the lens, snapped a shot, and conditions just happened to be perfect for the presets I had at the time. Serendipity. It's a major factor in great images.

Yes, it is a magpie. Didn't know they were part of the crow family. I used to play rugby for a team known colloquially as the magpies, its mascot named 'Hawkeye', as the province I played for was Hawkes Bay. (The hawke being the name of a man, not the bird.) We wore black and white hooped jerseys.
