Clark's Nutcracker

Nucifraga columbiana

Description:

Clark's Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana), sometimes referred to as Clark's Crow or Woodpecker Crow, is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae. It is ashy-grey all over except for the black-and-white wings and central tail feathers (the outer ones are white). The bill, legs and feet are also black. This bird derives its name from the explorer William Clark.

Notes:

Just as I was about to take a front view, someone came past and frightened it away. 2nd photo is a side view of this bird from an info board in the area.
