From the Jay family, the Clark's Nutcracker is a gregarious bird we encountered in Lake Louise.
Apparently, the name "nutcracker" refers to their ability to use their bills to extract seeds from cones, particularly whitebark pine seeds.
I love any bird that I don't need to use my binoculars to identify.
