[cobirds] Blue Jay mimics Cooper’s call, Boulder County

CObirders,
I throw out peanuts at sunrise for my Blue Jays. The jays have gotten to expect this treat, so they have started arriving before sunrise. They make so much noise that they wake up the neighbors unless I throw out peanuts!

One jay has figured out how to have the peanuts to himself: he arrives first and sits in my maple tree calling like a Cooper's Hawk! At first, I thought it was a hawk, but I could never find it. This smart bird has the peanuts to himself for the first five minutes or until he has had his fill!
