Canada Jay

A Canada Jay near Galena Lodge north of Ketchum, Idaho

 

"The Canada Jay is a widespread resident of North America's boreal and subalpine coniferous forests. Occupation of permanent all-purpose territories in such climatically hostile biomes is made possible by scatter-hoarding and recovery of seemingly perishable food items that this species fastens in trees under bark scales and lichens with the assistance of copious sticky saliva from enlarged salivary glands."
