« on: February 19, 2013, 11:53:35 am »
Offer is Gone

Hey all this guy was out in the yard froz stiff this mornin.

Beautiful plumage.  I am keepin the tail feathers!!

However, If anyone else wants the other plumage, Let me know ASAP
and I will pluck em out of the carcass bag em up and IF you agree to
pay shipping, Glad to send them to you....  PM format please....
I will Not be liable for any unknown microbial issues as a result of
the reciept of this plumage.  Don't know why he died, Poison? No gunshot wound....??
Offer can stand until 2-20-13 cause after that hes gettin stale

Wyoming Fish and Game was contacted and they did NOT want the carcass.  It was destined
to reside in the dead animal pit at the landfill so I thought maybe someone would want ....

Wow, those are beautiful feathers. Interesting that the body is black & white and the tail is, uh... awesome for lack of a better term. Hazel maybe?

They are Irridescent green/aqua/blue/copper/violet/black like carnival glass!
Magpie is the correct entity...
Wood Ducks are here as well, they are another great to see plumage.

Seems we in the west take regularly this bird for granted. 
It really is an amazingly beautiful corvid
and is commonly slapped with derision and lead across its range.

Cool that as you move south...they turn into magpie-jays.
This is my all-time favorite, although I never got to see one:



Black-throated Magpie jay




Cheers.

A black-billed magpie to be specific.
