Pica Hudsonia
Long streaming tail that is longer than the body and white wing patches. 18" long. Colors are black, white, blue and green. Bill is obviously black.
Open land near heavy brush or occasional trees.
They are curious and smart. You can see them often but are very elusive. I followed this one for a long time as it watched me. Every time I got a little closer it flew further away.

Atmospheric first shot too! Welcome to Project Noah. I've a wiki link, a few tags and added this to the Birds of the World Mission.
Great snowy shot! I can appreciate the effort you put in to try and photograph it. Birds are not easy!
