Description
The Clark's Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) is a distinctive long-billed jay living in the coniferous forests at higher elevations. You have to guard your food in these areas or the pesky jay will steal from you. This bird was photographed near Longmire in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, USA.

I have one better - we've never even heard of this type of bird before but it is a darling. Congratulations on the weekly WOW Jeff. You certainly deserve it with this beautiful and rare bird, at least around our part of the world it is rare. Incredibly well done. Bill & Deb Hayes

Thanks William!! I appreciate the comments. I guess if you want to see a Clark's Nutcracker you'll have to visit the mountains of the west. Not sure but I think the nutcracker is named after William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame. I used to see the Clark's Nutcracker occasionally in the mountains of Washington. Now I'm living in the mountains of Northern Arizona. They are a year-round resident here but I haven't seen one yet.
