BOTD: Canada Jay
Photo: Doug Greenberg
"A hiker in the north woods sometimes will be followed by a pair of Canada Jays, gliding silently from tree to tree, watching inquisitively. These fluffy jays seem fearless, and they can be a minor nuisance around campsites and cabins, stealing food, earning the nickname 'camp robber.' Tough enough to survive year-round in very cold climates, they store excess food in bark crevices all summer, retrieving it in harsh weather. Surprisingly, they nest and raise their young in late winter and early spring, not during the brief northern summer."
- Audubon Field Guide

Canada Jay - August 2023 On the way from Tok to Valdez, Alaska, we stopped at the Wrangell - St Elias National Park. There were a lot of these small Canada Jays (Perisoreus canadensis) flitting around and Kathy was able to capture this great image of one sitting in a tree apparently looking at her. MWM

Clark’s Nutcrackers, Nucifraga columbiana, are sometimes confused with their smaller cousins, Canada Jays, Perisoreus canadensis. While both are black, gray and white and both are members of the Corvid family, there are a few differences.
One big difference is that the Clark’s nutcracker is bigger. The Canada jay has about an 18 inch span from wingtip to wingtip. The nutcracker wingspan is longer at 24 inches across.
Their coloring is a bit different as well. Canada jays have black on their head while the Clark’s nutcracker is more gray. Also Clark’s nutcrackers have mostly black wings except for white on the trailing edge of the secondaries.
Another big difference? Pine seeds. Clark’s nutcrackers are amazing cachers of pine seeds. They love these seeds, especially the white bark pine. Seeds from these trees are full of calories. To take advantage of these seeds, and other conifer seeds, these birds have developed some great ways to cache and store food for the winter and even spring. They have a pouch under their tongue that allows them to hold 30-150 seeds. Once all gathered, the Clark’s nutcracker can fly up to 15 miles away to dig a small trench, bury the seeds and memorize the local landmarks (like trees, rocks, logs). Working all fall gathering pine seeds allows these birds to eat all winter. In fact, their memory is great even 6 months later. Of course, what the birds forget or don’t need to eat is a seed planted for the future. A single Clark’s nutcracker can cache up to 30,000 seeds in a single season.
Have you seen a Clark’s nutcracker in the park? Have you watched them flying across a meadow? Heard their “krraaaaak” as they call to each other? ~ams
