Gray Jay (Perisoreus canadensis).
A member of the crow family (Corvidae) found in the boreal forests across North America north to the tree-line,
and in subalpine forests of the Rocky Mountains south to New Mexico and Arizona.
It is one of three members of the genus Perisoreus, the others being the Siberian Jay (Perisoreus infaustus) found from Norway to eastern Russia,
and the Sichuan Jay (Perisoreus internigrans), restricted to the mountains of eastern Tibet and northwestern Sichuan.
All three species store food and live year-round on permanent territories in coniferous forests.
