My blue jays still do that sometimes, but at least one is even smarter than I thought. They used to perch above the sunflower seed feeders and mimic a Red-Tailed. The small birds would all scatter, and the mimic jay would swoop down and eat. After a while, though, the little birds started to figure it out; they'd hear the "hawk", but only a few would leave. One day, I was sitting outside on the patio, and heard the oddest sound; almost like a Cooper's hawk, but as if it had a head cold. I live right next to the woods, so Cooper's are common, and you can bet the birds know it, and respect the kik-kik-kik. They heard that, and they were gone. I heard them flying away en masse and looked down toward the feeders to see...a single blue jay, parked in one of the tray feeders, happily munching sunflower seeds.

Prime cruising stop! Met many friends just hanging out listening to music & partying. Back then, if there was a fight it was between just two people & only fists. When it was over, it was over. Next weekend everything was cool. Too bad an argument can’t be settled without guns & jumping in. It’s life or death instead of settling a dispute between two people.
