Leftovers (Corvus frugilegus)

The Rooks will steal cones from the Nutcrackers by chasing them off so fast the Nutcrackers drop them. Or they'll steal pine nuts the Nutcrackers have cached if they can find them. But sometimes they don't exactly steal, just pick over the remains of cones the Nutcrackers have left half-finished on the ground - freeloading maybe, but not theft.
