It is a Clark's Nutcracker Ryan

Lovely shot of the Nutcracker Ryan, There is also a Eurasian species called just 'Nutcracker', that I've never seen posted on NPN. I saw my first Clarke's at Banff , Alberta a few years ago. They are in fact a Jay.

Specifically, they are a Corvid, the same family as ravens, crows, magpies and jays. And a nice photo. :wink:

Clark's Nutcracker. I remember seeing them in the crater lake region as well.
