This magpie was just sitting on a branch waiting, so I figured that since they are such "groupie" birds, he must be waiting on friends. In the meantime, he let me take about fifty photos of him in different positions. My model finally flew away, but he will live on in my paintings of him - there will be plenty more. The light was perfect and the scenery in Rocky Mountain National Park was to die for.
