Azure-winged Magpie
This bird was a denizen of the oak woodlands in Spain where we used to camp when I was growing up. It has a weird distribution — Spain and Portugal and China. (I think the species has been split.)
It was fun if sad to see it today at the zoo instead of flying around free. But today’s Sketchcrawl was great fun — met some wonderful Sacramento-area sketchers. We’ve decided to do Apple Hill next year during the apple harvest…
