Clark's Nutcracker's phenominal memory studied

Clark's Nutcracker is a species found in good numbers in western Fremont County and Chaffee County. This bird can stash up to 30,000 pine nuts in up to 5,000 caches--and finds enough of them to have food through winter!!

"Scientists at the University of New Hampshire hope to learn more about memory and its evolution by studying the Clark's nutcracker, a bird with a particularly challenging task: remembering where it buried its supply of food for winter in a 15-mile area."
