A magpie can be happy or sad: sometimes so happy that he sits on a high, high gum tree and rolls the sunrise around in his throat like beads of pink sunlight; and sometimes so sad that you would expect the tears to drip off his beak.

The beautiful magpie was the first bird I saw when I arrived in Banff, Alberta. So pretty, and fun to watch.
