At 11,400 feet on the Humphreys Summit trail, this pair of birds sounded exactly like crows. In the sunlight they almost looked like them too. The photos make it more obvious that they're not, though. Any ideas?

Yep, Clark's Nutracker. They're fun birds to watch, but sometimes hard to catch on camera. They're adept at circling around trees quickly.

Re: Bird identification help
Definitely the one. Thanks folks. I briefly thought they might be Clark's after going through the HAZ database but decided against it based on not looking closely enough.
As you can see, the photos required a lot of zooming at the cost of quality.
