82. Great black cormorant
It was nearly hunted to extinction in the past! Fishermen are sometimes able to take fish out of the cormorants' mouths since they catch it without being able to fully swallow them.

It is one of the most intelligent birds. Quoting from wikipedia:
In Italian folklore, magpies are believed to have a penchant for picking up shiny items, particularly precious stones. Rossini's opera La gazza ladra and The Adventures of Tintin comic The Castafiore Emerald are based on this theme.Seen in Novate Milanese, March 21st, 2016
