| Clark's Nutcracker (Bishop Pass Trail) - Sierra Nevada 2023 |
Part of the crow and raven family. "The bird was described by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, with William Clark first observing it in 1805 along the banks of the Salmon River, a tributary of the Columbia River."
While hiking up the trail I carried a Nikon Z5 with a 40mm lens attached. But just before heading down I switched to a 24-200mm zoom lens (yes, much heavier but I reasoned that the extra weight wouldn't matter that much on the downhill). The extra reach of the zoom lens came in handy when these birds appeared!
