Natalia Wasko, left, and Clarity Fornell, right, observe as T-Lazy-7 Ranch snowmobile driver Charles Chisholm feeds a gray jay, not from a bird feeder but by hand in a panoramic setting dominated by the oft-photographed Maroon Bells formation, the snow-capped peaks in the distance that are just outside Aspen in Colorado's Rocky Mountains

Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The bird is a gray jay, a songbird native to the American Rockies and colder reaches of Canada. In warmer seasons, these crafty birds store food for the winter in the crooks of trees. This one, thanks to Charles Chisholm, perhaps less than other jays in the valley.
