Diane 3 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hi, I saw both of these birds at Crater Lake National Park (Oregon) in Dec. 2020 Being an east coaster I have no idea what they are - any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Connor Cochrane 2,624 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Canada jay, Clark's Nutcracker For the Canada Jay, note the small bill, dark cap, jay-like appearance. For the Nutcracker, note the overall gray coloration with the long, large bill. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diane 3 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 People were feeding them in the parking lot. They were all over the cars. I wouldn't have guessed a jay based on size. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
