Yes, I know, it's "just" a Magpie, but ....they are still beautiful birds, especially when the wing feathers catch the sunlight. Taken in Canmore, near Banff, on 15 December 2012, during the annual Audubon Banff/Canmore Christmas Bird Count. My small group of seven people covered SW Canmore, Territory #1, walking for eight hours. I came home with very few bird photos that day, so "even" a Black-billed Magpie was welcome. Total number of species that my group saw was 17.
