I pulled over to do my business off the side of the road today and noticed this road kill carcass of a mule deer thrown up off the road. This Magpie didn't take on to much caution with me there and flew in to dine on this dead deer. Magpie and man have coexisted out in the north American west for thousands of years I'm guessing. Looking at some cool fact about this bird, include, historical records of the American west indicate that, Magpies have been associates of people for a long time. Magpies frequently followed hunting parties of Plains Indians and fed on leftovers from bison kills. On their expedition, Lewis and Clark reported magpies boldly entering their tents to steal food. Thanks to the modern highway systems and mans garbage and waste, I think the Magpie has a very good chance he'll survive many more years in the future from the benefits of man. It's almost like the Great Spirit, had it planned all along to see to it, the Magpie will be well taken care of by the works of man to live a very hardy life then, now and in the future. He's a very lucky bird I'd say.
