[cobirds] Bizarre Blue Jay behavior, Boulder Co.

I have had a young Blue Jay (small gray crest and head) terrorizing birds that try to use my hanging, "screened in" sunflower seed feeder.  It has pecked House Finches feeding inside the wire until they come out and then he will ride them to the ground.  He continues to peck the finches on the ground.  So far, all the birds have managed to escape-- at least while I've been watching.   The jay also attacks Eurasian-collared Doves feeding below the feeder!

I wish it would be content with peanuts like the rest of the jays!
