Though these birds look black and white, they have beautiful irridescence in their feathers. Photographed at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on June 19th. Even though these birds are everywhere, they are so difficult to photograph. I was so lucky that this one flew to a low bush by the edge of the lagoon at the Sanctuary, so the water gave a decent background and I was able to get the closest shot yet of a Magpie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-billed_Magpie
