gray jay
light gray under
black cap on back of head barely visible
Camp robbers love the national parks. They are quite bold in Denali.
I have a sudden urge to take a sandwich out of my backpack.
Long tail, black cap, light gray plumage on underside, gray face
When/where do you post the IDs? I tweeted you about this, but forgot to post here, so here goes - I call it:
Snow bunting: pale underside, including under tail, black in wing, that bunting beak, which being all black, suggests a male.
How'd I do?
I stuffed up, didn't I? Never realized gray jays have such short beaks... :)
