I like that seeing one at dawn is a sign of a good day here, because it's pretty easy to spot one at dawn if you feel you are in for a bad day.

On par with the red wing blackbird. I've been attacked by both as I walked into their territory. I've seen a magpie relentlessly take on a mid-sized hunting dog to protect its young. Five thousand years of co-existing with the people really messed up the magpies and mosquitoes and the jindo dogs. The Europeans <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Magpie" rel="nofollow">revile </a> the bird. The Magpie is a rather ferocious bird. On par with the red wing blackbird.

The Europeans revile the bird.

A jay bird kept scaring away other birds from our feeder so I dispatched him with one shot and left him lying there in plain sight. All the little birds came back to the feeder but the other jays stayed away. The birds seemed to understand. The magpie belongs to the same group as the crow and raven, which have the largest brain cavity for any flighted bird, thus they are the most intelligent of their kind.
