Frist seen them over by the hospital. Now there are a lot of them. The Steller Jay leave when these guy come in to an area. I had one in my back yard about four years ago that had a miss shaped beak, he was having a very hard time eating. This year a pair is nesting on the block in some big shrubs. |

They steal from squirrels, hide things in the garden and roof shingles, scatter seed from feeders, and yes, take baby birds from nests to kill them. Also locally called "picnic robbers" for obvious reason. |
