Blue Jay spotted on the tree branch right outside the window next to this desk from which I am typing. Don't get many of those right here on the coast. It hops up a couple more branches out of view.
. . .followed by:
This pants-shitting 100 dB sound coming from the upstairs balcony a literal 4 ft. above the window.
. . .followed by:
Fast-moving shadow the size of a small airplane blotting out the sun across the building next door.
. . .followed by:
Silence.
. . .followed by:
Light rain of Blue Jay feathers falling from the sky past the window.
If it's any consolation, Blue Jays are kinda asshole birds that are obnoxiously loud and like to intimidate things smaller/weaker than itself. It probably had it coming.
I can vouch from experience, blue jays are real peckerheads. I watched one completely harass and attack another kid in my neighborhood for no fucking reason other than he was walking by.

Long overdue justice for millions of kids throwing rocks at birds, I'd wager.

This is very true. Now if we could get so.e hawks to go after the squirrels in my yard that would be soecial. There was on a year or so ago hanging around but it probably had its eye on the neighbors chickens.

The raptors all moved to the city where the vermin is a lot slower and more obese from eating our garbage. The red tail hawk and peregrine falcon population has exploded here, right straight into downtown amid the skyscrapers. Not unusual to see an extremely violent and bloody pigeon kill happen on a sidewalk full of 100 people waiting for the bus. They ain't scared of human proximity.
So far the biggest stripped carcass wildlife officials have seen outside the nests are a feral cat or two. Haven't graduated to dog or human baby...yet.

Yeah that probably explains why the don't bother with the squirrels, chickens are an easier target.
Yeah, there was a red-tail that used to feast on the pigeons right above the busiest part of the busiest pedestrian street in Charleston without giving a damn.
One of our neighbors dogs has a scar from where a hawk tried to scoop her up right off the leash while she was being walked.
