American Fork Rural Carrier Lori Peay was delivering a parcel when this magpie flew in her side window and found a perch on the steering wheel.
It stayed long enough for a photo shoot, giving an inquisitive eye to Lori. Circling inside the LLV cargo area, the bird finally exited out the window, leaving a parting gift.

The bird wouldn't have gotten in if the rural carrier had properly secured the vehicle in the first place. Window is too far down for carrier to avoid theft of mail while she was delivering the parcel, and she left the keys in the vehicle, which means the vehicle could have been stolen as well.
What a fantastic photograph.
It's wonderful that you shared this.
And you may want to link to some of the Bird Digest type of blogs. I think the magpie is a bird not often thought of, but how stunning it is.
Also, I'd like to share that there's a wonderful illustrated children's book with a magpie in it, called appropriately, GIFT OF THE MAGPIE.
It's a sweet love story for all ages.
Well, that makes it official... the Postal Service is going to the birds.
why is the key in the ignition? and why is the ignition in the on position?
Wondering why the key is in the on position in the LLV? Just sayn.....SAFETY FIRST....PHOTO SHOOTS LATER! (it was a nice photo and story).....
oops can we ask for a retake!
You've heard of Nanny Cam...gotcha via Carrier Cam.
Looks like a letter of warning at least to me. HELLO!!! Rollaway Runaway anyone? Secure the mail? Does any of that sound familiar?
As a supervisor, my eyes are not drawn to the bird but the fact that the keys are in the ignition and the carrier is not in the LLV.
Unfortunately, the carrier was more interested in the photo than safety or securing the mail. I'm sure she didn't see that coming either.

the rural carrier must of been taught by a city carrier... talk about crossing crafts...
