Title: "Smarty Pants" at Maplewood Park
Post by: Bird Brain on December 02, 2011, 04:53:17 PM
Hi everyone.  This afternoon between 1-2pm, I was walking around Maplewood Park.  At 1pm, could hear a Cooper's Hawk quite clearly and was looking around everywhere trying to find it.

Lo and Behold!, there he/she was ... a Blue Jay perched on low branch of tree, imitating a hawk, scaring squirrels and helping him/herself to shelled peanuts lunch!  I see/hear this Blue Jay occasionally.  He (or she) seems quite amused with the fact that it fools both squirrels and people!   :shock:

Maplewood Park:  East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
