[Tweeters] Jaybird Kestrel

[Catherine Alexander]

I was delighted to hear a Kestrel calling nearby this morning. Grabbed the binocs and went out to look for it, only to find a Steller’s Jay sitting in a Doug Fir and perfectly vocalizing a Kestrel’s call. 

I hadn’t known that Steller’s Jays are such skillful mimics.
