The location at the head of the Klamath River basin is a pretty good potential
spot for one.

I don't want to discount the possibility that this report could turn out
to be correct. From the description of seeing the bird just 15 feet
away, it seems unlikely that it would be a case of a Black-billed Magpie
carrying a cheet-oh. And sooner or later, one is bound to show up in
Oregon. Maybe this is the one.
But just 'cuz it's fun to recall, Steve Shunk and I once spotted an
ORANGE-BILLED MAGPIE in Wheeler County. It was a magpie flying with a
piece of orange peel, in the Keyes Creek Summit area east of Mitchell.
A healthier choice than cheet-ohs, I'd say. But magpies aren't big on
healthy diet choices.
Happy birding,
Joel
