[Tweeters] California scrub jay - Wikipedia

[Dan Reiff via Tweeters]

Hello Tweeters,
This is a species we see only twice a year, in the last five years, one bird, once in the spring and once in the fall, for one day and occasionally two.
We usually will hear them before we see them at our feeders.
The four resident Stellar Jays seem to give them the clear message that: nope, this is our territory and food source! Time to move along!
I found the behavior section of this article to be very interesting.
Very smart, neat birds.
This Wikipedia article has some useful references. You can click on them if you want to see the some of the original research articles.
