Jay-bombing

Well! Alice was watching Mr. Jay working the bird feeder between eating trips to the flagpole when -- WHAM!!! -- another jay divebombed him. Lots of manueovering by the jays around the branches of the apricot and sycamore trees nearby. No more birds at the feeder for quite a while..... Just the feeder slowing its pendulem swinging from Mr. Jay's last feeding.
Alice better get out there and fill it up. The natives are getting restless as the sun sets and another cold night begins. The sparrows are taking advantage of the jay-free almost-empty feeder, but they are easily spooked by a camera, so only blurry pix of them.
