Green magpie

This magpie is native to Borneo.  Hard to photograph, although not particularly shy, because it moves around a lot.  So catching it at a standstill was a minor triumph.  So was photographing it before my camera steamed up from the ambient humidity in the Southeast Asian Aviary.  This aviary features a pond and a daily simulated thunderstorm at noon; the thunder is broadcast over the speakers, and the shower part comes from sprinklers, so not nearly as fun as an actual storm.  But wet enough to make it a challenge to keep my camera dry.
