Clark's Nutcracker

Nucifraga columbiana - Locally common in conifers near timberline. Flashy white wing and tail patches and even gray body suggest a stub-tailed mockingbird, but mockingbirds are not found at high elevations. Long sharply pointed bill and white face confirm the identification. Flight and general body from are crow-like. It wanders irregularly to low country. Call is drawn-out grating kr-a-a-a.
