Two Against One

This morning two Steller's Jays took on a sharp-shinned hawk. All of them flying around the trees, landing, watching, starting over again. As the jays seemed to taunt the hawk, they also came in for peanuts. They seem fearless. Other birds in the backyard did their warning calls, which have a different pitch and intensity than the warning or scolding calls for a cat prowling. The hawk is browner and breast is more mottled than when we saw a sharpie about 3-4 months ago.
