2:48 AM – Blue Jay and a Brown Thrasher spar at the platform feeder. Notice that the first Jay flies off when the Thrasher swoops in, and is replaced by another one immediately. The video ends with the Jay in the feeder, and the Thrasher looking on, probably ready for a fight.
As if the Jays didn’t have enough squabbling with the Doves and Thrashers, every now and then they like to mix it up among themselves.
No doubt in my mind that this Cardinal is ready for molting season to end. He looks like a thatched roof.
