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!

It was recognizable to me at once because I am familiar with the Eurasian Magpie. It looks very much like them. And others felt the same for a long time! Just read this on the American Magpie Wikipedia:

It was once thought to be a subspecies of the Eurasian magpie (Pica pica), but was placed into its own species in 2000 based on genetic studies.

Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
