Clark's Nutcracker, Rocky Mountain National Park

I'd forgotten about these smart relatives of the crow, who cache many thousands of pine nuts from timberline whitebark and limber pines. At one time they were called "Clark's Crow". Managed to catch him in focus, though perhaps not the best framing, with my little G12. (I had to crop to get the composition, but the image was sharp enough to take it.)
