When I stopped at Tern Lake in Alaska, this #BlackBilledMagpie came over to eat the bugs off my car (and seemingly gossip). We chatted for a good five minutes, at least.

Spending a good five minutes looking at this magpie in Alaska up close, it struck me how much birds look like dinosaurs (because they are).
It made me think of @DustinGrowick (an amazing and endlessly entertaining science/dinosaur educator...follow him!).

I mean this black-billed magpie actually had a system to visit cars right as they parked (because cars attracted swarms of insects to them). It was pretty amazing behavior and intelligence to watch.
