Clark’s Nutcracker

August 2010 – Tam MacArthur Rim, Oregon Cascades

On this particular visit, I saw more Clark’s Nutcrackers than I’ve seen the rest of my life. Dozens of these birds darted among the trees, and soared down the cliffsides. They have the curious habit of finding the very tip of the tallest tree around, and perching on top of it.
