  • Interesting facts about Clark's Nutcrackers filmed foraging for pine nuts at a high elevation mountain lake in the Wind River Area of Wyoming. These fascinating birds are members of the Corvid (Corvidae) or Crow family that include Jays, Crows and Ravens and are smart birds that have been mistaken for woodpeckers. One of three new bird species documented on the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806). They were absolutely fascinating to watch from my tree-top level vantage point as they collected dozens of pine nuts and cached them for winter.

    Not in reference to this post...
    I'm noticing a crazy amount of Bluejays in an oak tree across the street! I don't remember ever noticing them frantically stashing acorns this way! I don't think I even knew they did that. It is so fun to watch them in my yard, digging holes & carefully covering each nut! They work very long finding just the right spot to dig & they even pick up leaves to cover the holes with! I've really been enjoying this! I I live in Kentucky. And I even saw my first junco at my feeder today! That was a fun surprise...I haven't had any in years!

    I was 11,000 ft. on Mt. Rainer and had great fun watching a small flock of Clark's nutcracker. They were having fun with them selves, showing intelligence. That was 27 years ago, but I can see that scene like it was yesterday. Great FUN!

    I love these birds. I encounter them frequently around Mt Adams in WA at higher elevations right at the tree line. So smart and they definitely do not like it if you get near one of their seed storage area. They will get very loud at you. I was circled by 8 one day. They observed me for 45 minutes and eventually left.

    I also came here after Our Daily Bread devotion. I had no knowledge of the Clark Nutcracker. His song sounds familiar though. I don’t know if they come as far south as VA.

    First time I have seen these birds, dropping cones in my backyard, from a large Fir tree. I see from this video the cones were dropping from the effort of removing the seeds. Princeton BC.

    I feed these birds peanuts in the shell. They are extremely noisy, I guess they are mating right now.

    • @farmyardflavours
      @farmyardflavours 3 роки тому +3

      I fed them throughout the winter, there were only two, but many came after February. Now they fight constantly over peanuts and the female birds. They truly are noisy . you didn't capture that. Lol

    Hello there. I’ve been working on a documentary with a botanist in the north cascades. He’s studying the effect of blister rust on the endangered white bark pine. We’re looking for some good footage of the Clark’s nutcracker. Would it be possible to use a few of these clips? Or are they for sale somewhere?

      Thank You for your interest in our work. The video is available for use or license for a fee. For something like what you propose a nominal fee of $300 is typical. Let me know what you think? BB

    Sad to see these beautiful creatures being trapped and potentially harmed because the bird panics and can injure itself than electronics with batteries I assume are being strapped to their little bodies to track them just awful..
