Grandma's new wildlife cam.

[SteveSS]

Living in Black Forest, Colorado we get lots of wildlife visitors at the ranch. Grandma feeds two feral cats that somehow live through our snowy winters. Something was raiding their food bowls so we bought a wildlife cam. It was a neighbor's dog but this photo also showed up. I've talked about Magpies before and how smart they are but I've never seen one with full spread plumage. Awesome. They like to hang around McDonald's in my neighborhood.

One of the neatest pics I think I've ever seen...thought it was some kind of metal art at first..

That’s way cool. Magpies are incredibly smart. Noisy, but smart.

Careful...that could be taken as "cartoon-ist"....

Cool pics. Always good to know what's swiping the food!

We get a lot of Steller Jays and Magpies. They love the cat food. At the McDonald's we get a ton of crows and ravens. I saw one emptying out a little trash can, like the ones between the gas pumps at a filling station to get at food scraps.
