[EBB Sightings] two yellow-billed magpies living in Fremont

Hi birders,

Yesterday and twice today I got a good look at two yellow-billed  
magpies that are hanging out near the railroad tracks at the  
intersection of Washington and Driscoll in Fremont. They were perched  
in a big cottonwood both evenings, but this afternoon they were  
perched together on the railroad crossing signal, investigating a  
small dead rodent in the road.

I've seen yellow-billed magpies near this location a few times in the  
summer, but this is the first time I've seen them there in the winter.

Also saw an American Kestrel sitting at the top of a tree in a nearby  
empty lot.
