Magpies and Grackles
When I first saw this Eurasian magpie I thought it looked a lot like the Grackles that visited my yard at home. But they are two unrelated species.
Magpies belong to the family Corvidae, which includes crows, ravens, and jays, while grackles belong to the family Icteridae, which includes blackbirds, orioles, and meadowlarks 123.
