There's a sweet little book, called the Garlic Testament, set in Northern NM, where the narrator saves an injured Magpie, which later follows him around during his farm chores. (True Story) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/garlic-testament-stanley-crawford/1100003735?ean=9780060182076
I've actually never had any bad encounters with magpies, just a momma hawk who didn't like me hanging around taking pictures of her chicks, so started dive bombing me. After the second time, I started hiding in my car and sticking the end of my lens out the window. Viewer vantage points, but it seemed like a good compromise.
I'd love to get a good picture of a magpie though, that's the only way I'm interested in shooting them.
