Most people overlook magpies. Some even dislike them.
I've never understood why.
To me, they are among Wyoming's most elegant birds, dressed as if they're wearing a perfectly tailored tuxedo. From a distance they look black, but when the light catches their feathers, rich shades of deep navy blue begin to shine through. You only see their true beauty when you slow down and take a closer look.
No matter where I travel across Wyoming, magpies are there. They greet me on fence posts, in open fields, and along quiet country roads. It's funny that, despite seeing them almost every day, I don't have nearly as many photographs of them as I should. That realization made me smile—and inspired me to give these remarkable birds the attention they deserve.
This tote bag is a celebration of one of Wyoming's most misunderstood treasures.
More than a practical bag, it's a reminder that beauty is often found in the places others overlook. Whether you're heading to the farmers market, the library, work, or your next adventure, you'll carry a small piece of Wyoming's wild spirit with you.
Made for nature lovers, bird enthusiasts, and anyone who finds joy in the outdoors, this tote bag tells a story every time you carry it.
