I love to get "grab shots" of birds and other wildlife and usually have a pretty good idea what I am catching but this bird has me stumped. Can anyone tell me what it is? I am stretching the NW thing with this but it was taken in SW Oregon.
 
It looks like a yellow-billed magpie to me. If it is, it would be a very rare spotting in southern Oregon (they are native to the central valley of California).
 
Thanks Phil...

We were near some aviary so maybe he was an escapee. Either that or I caught him on vacation. That would also explain why he wasn't easy to find in my book of northwestern birds.
