Clark's Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana)

These birds are common and confiding around lake Louise and other tourist and ski hotspots in Alberta, Canada. Light wasn't great and the background is a little distracting, but I hope I got some of the wintery feeling (it was -20C!)
Location
Alberta, Canada
Date taken
January 2009
Scientific name
Nucifraga columbiana
Equipment used
Canon 1D MkIII, 300 f/2.8 + 1.4x
Ignacio, you're crazy if you think less of this image!!! Your bg is excellent, both in its bokeh and the perfectly framed dark area behind the bird, which allows the pale feathers of this Nutcracker to stand out beautifully! Very sharp, sweet bird, thanks for the post! :t:
 
The background is fine - it frames the bird, I don't find it distracting at all. :t: The bird looks incredible, up there on that fragile perch, which doesn't bend even slightly. The image has a lovely airy, snowy feel to it - and not just because we're having a major heatwave over here! ;) :'D A splendid shot, great work! :clap:
 
:eek!: Alucinante, chico!!! o:) Seguimos recorriendo mundo, eh? ;) This is a cracker of Nutcracker, gorgeous image!!! :t: :t: :loveme:
