Theyre trying to drive the eagles away, because their babies be in a nest nearby.

Fun fact: blue jays often do an admirable impression of the red-tailed hawk, which is the bird scream that’s often dubbed in for bald eagles!

Even at its best angle, still looks like someone holding their most precious turd…..

Had a bluejay that would dive bomb me on the way to my mail at an apartment complex. One sunny day it swooped down and pecked my head, but the sun was behind me and I could see my shadow in front of me. When I saw the bird's shadow start it's next run, I spun around and caught the damn bird in mid air, gave it a shake and then threw it straight up. It recovered and flew off. It never came at me once after that.
In the middle of the move, I remember thinking "HOLY CRAP! It worked!?!"

Intellectually I know the blue jay is flying past the eagle left to right, but I can't stop giggling at the notion that the blue jay is performing a flying drop kick traveling right to left that the eagle is about to take square to the face.
Like, yeah, there's no reality where the blue jay's dropping a double footed flying kick traveling opposite of the flow of its feathers, but it looks hilarious.

That must've been one expensive lense to capture that so clearly.

I have seen Blue Jays pecking a cat to get it to move...a cat, the number one killer of song birds in the world.

I always wondered why small birds would pester Eagles. Then I visited neighbours down the street that have an Eagles nest in a huge tree in the yard. Littered all around the base of the tree were the skeletons of small birds. The homeowner showed me a shoe box containing dozens of cat and dog collars that had fallen from the nest as well. She said these were the ones without phone numbers.
