 Spotted Nutcrackers
The Spotted Nutcracker, or just Nutcracker, (Nucifraga caryocatactes) is a passerine bird slightly larger than the Eurasian Jay.
The Spotted Nutcracker has an extensive range forming a broad swathe east-west from Scandinavia right across northern Europe, Siberia and to eastern Asia, including Japan, inhabiting the huge taiga conifer forests in the north.
Spotted Nutcrackers are not migratory, but will erupt out of range when a cone crop failure leaves them short of a food supply, the thin-billed eastern race being the more likely to do this.

Dewy-eyed parents may drag her along to The Nutcracker in the hope that something of Clara's timidity and demureness will rub off, but the chances are that she will find the harder beat of Beyoncé Knowles more chic and enticing.

The Nutcracker was a complete and total thrill ride from the beginning to the end.
The play control of the Nutcracker vehicle is solid, but painfully slow at times, especially when compared to the pace of the game (which is super fast).
This is determined by the time it took you to finish, the number of shots you fired, the number of times you were spotted, the number of secrets found and the number of times that you saved the game (during that run through).

The Nutcracker project began as a result of having several hundred fl walnuts to crack, and only a hammer with which to crack them.
While the idea congealed, I spotted one like I had in mind in a catalog for more than I cared to spend for a nutcracker.
