Yellow-billed
Magpie, Pica nuttalli
The Yellow-billed Magpie is one of the few birds endemic to California, much-prized by visiting birders from out of state. It differs from the Black-billed Magpie only in having yellow rather than black as the color of its bill and the bare skin around its eye, and in its slightly smaller size.
The brown upperparts and coverts identify this as a first-winter bird.
