Yesterday, Sunday morning. Sat on the shop step watching the birds and squirrels digging around the back yard for breakfast. To early for me to start making noise and kinda great way to relax.
One of the squirrels is a big 'ol honking guy I call Bruno. He likes to sit outside my bedroom window on a Cyprus branch and torture Stewie DeCat and normally wins the staring contest. Really funny.
As the birds and critters do what ever, 2 blue jays land and claim a corner by a shed. Every time other, non-blue jay birds come close, one of the jays jump at em and scare em off.
Out of no where and out of my field of vision Bruno comes charging at the blue jays. Not a mock attack. He is full on running at the larger one. As the bird turns and immediately took flight just over Bruno's head. As the bird got in the air, Bruno reached up with his front paws and it looked like he tried to grab the bird. The other jay followed suit and got gone.
Then Bruno just went back to foraging with the rest of the morning crowd.
Was so dang cool to see. I have since stopped yelling him to get off the branch out side my window and messing with the cat.
This is not my vid, but was looking around to see if this happened else where other then my lil Walt Disney world of a back yard;
