Surprised to see a jay hassling a crow that was easily twice his size.


it is very common to watch much smaller birds
harrassing larger hawks and crows in flight.
being more agile the smaller birds really can
do a great job at not much risk to themselves.

my nature moment today was going outside and
finding parts of "something" on the front porch
steps. i think it was parts of a rabbit, but
i'm not sure. i wasn't about to dissect them.
buried what was left near a plant. probably
parts of a meal from a hawk or eagle, but such
a strange place to find them (no real perch or
overhang there). perhaps they were dropped in
transit...

My only previous observation of avian Davids, & Goliaths was contention
between two roosters. It ended poorly for the bantam.
