Not of a Feather

Sometimes birds not of a feather stick together.

I recently wrote about seeing a flock of LBJ birds (little brown jobs).  Yesterday morning, I pitched a few unsalted seeds and nuts and a few scraps of salad fixings out atop a drift of snow for the local magpies.  Magpies are flamboyant and easy to identify.  When about a dozen magpies flew to take turns feasting on what I had offered, however, they were joined by a single RBB (really big bird).  I snapped a picture for anyone capable of identifying this species of bird.
