Description

In this shot the table's are turned. Mr. Stetller's Jay attacks the native brown Douglas squirrel from the air. Air raid and attack from Steller's Jay. He gets "Bud" the Douglas squirrel to jump. Steller's Jay had the upper hand and wings this time! Sometimes they seem to be playing....other times, it seems like out and out war. Who needs television, these guys can be some great entertainment. Douglas Squirrel 3.... Steller's Jay 2. I keep a scorecard!
Here's a little info on the Blue Steller's Jay. The Steller￿s jay is a bold and aggressive species frequently found scavenging in campgrounds, picnic areas, and feeding stations in the West. The bird￿s flight is strong and steady, with wings rarely flexed above horizontal. Polytypic. Length 11.5" (29 cm). A nearly unmistakable dark blue, black-crested jay with variable white or blue markings on the head. The wings and tail are a vivid blue, with fine black barring. The head, including the crest; back; and throat are blackish. Juveniles are washed with brownish or grayish to the upper parts and are duller below.
Here's a little info on Mr. Bud the Douglas Squirrel. The Douglas squirrel, or chickaree (Tamiasciurus douglasii) measures 10 to 14 inches in length, including its tail. Its upper parts are reddish-or brownish-gray, and its under parts are orange to yellowish.
