Jace, The rattle calls of jays have been shown to be given by females, usually dominant females. If they are ever given by males, it's apparently very rare. So this sounds to me like a case of a dominant female asserting her dominance at your feeder. eBird and Audubon don't have this kind of

Hello, this morning I experienced a male blue jay protecting a tree from other males. After he had won the battle he went to the feeder got some peanuts and went back to his tree. As he sat at the very top of the tree he started to bounce up and down and make a rattling sound. I have never seen

Just had EIGHT blue jays together at my feeder in Trinidad at Santa Fe Trail and Jefferson, 9:30 on November 14. They are not present every day. After 50 years of western jays, I had forgotten how pretty they are. Pat Snider 719 846-3174 _pinyon...@aol.com_ (mailto:pinyon...@aol.com) --
