Field notes
What to look for
A fluffy grey jay with a white forehead and a dark nape; glides in silently to steal food. The 'whisky jack'.
Where
Spruce forests in the mountains, foothills and boreal north.
When
Year-round.
Tips
Tame and quiet, unlike the blue jay. Clark's nutcracker is paler grey with black wings and a longer bill.
