My grandmother calls these birds "thieves" and doesn't have anything nice to say about them, and thieves they may be, but they're beautiful and fun to watch.
Until you come across one of them picking at a carcass. That's not very beautiful at all. But everybody's gotta eat, and let's face it: squirrels really aren't that bright to begin with.
