And the winner is....Gray Jay!

Chosen for friendliness, toughness and smarts as the national bird of Canada by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.

You won't see this bird unless you go to the boreal forest or higher elevations of BC. And you won't find it anywhere outside of Canada. I encountered this friendly one on a hike near Whistler, BC, where he introduced himself as Whiskey Jack and attempted to steal my snack.
