Speaking of preditor birds..
Don't fu@k with blue jay's. Where I live is full of hawkes. Where I live there are a lot of blue jays as well. Several hawks have made fatal errors and landed in a tree in my neighbors yard where blue jays have nests., the ensuing noise coming from the tree and the amount of blue jays attacking the hawk was something to be seen. This has happened several times where the hawk has been chased out large hawkes as well as small ones. What a commotion and racket caused by those birds I'm going to try and film it next time you have to hear the sounds. These blue jays are fearless.

Interesting...
We have these birds in the Mountains that everybody refers to as Blue Jay's, and the are of the same family, but I believe they are actually called Stellar's Jay's. Anyway, they are a fairly substantial bird, with a crest on their heads. Noisy SOB's though... |

I've hated bluejays ever since I was 8 years old. I was walking on the walk from the barn to the house and bluejays had a nest in the maple tree.
The little fecker swooped down, grabbed my hair and pecked me in the head. Only good bluejay is a dead bluejay. |

Growing up in south FL, I have tons of experience with Blue Jays. Just get near their tree and they dive bomb you and try to peck you on the head. Vicious little shits.
