Clark’s Nutcracker Paso Picacho Campground

Just had a Clark’s Nutcracker at Paso Picacho in the Cuyamacas. Initially we heard it from the small trail that goes to the amphitheater. It flew south, possibly 2 birds. We relocated one between the front entrance and maintenance facilities to the south. We watched it from the Azalea Glen/Paso Picacho trailhead and along the road to the campground. It was briefly harassed by Acorn Woodpeckers and a Steller’s Jay.
