Unfortunately their attention span is almost as short as mine. It didn't appear that eating was involved; they seemed too busy calling and tossing. Call and response from the other Jay, run back and forth, toss stuff, call, do it again. Not sure if both were tossing but both were calling and running. I first heard the commotion and saw stuff falling outside the window - sort of like the Monty Python office building skit. Thought it was the #@!!%! squirrels at first. The activity went on for several minutes and they removed some pretty big pieces of glop. Nice birds! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Pierce (DNRC)- fpierce@avialantic.com Mid-Atlantic Aviation on the Web - http://www.avialantic.com ** Mid Atlantic Air Museum WWII Weekend Airshow June 7-9 2002 and Planes, Trains, & Automobiles Transporation Show Sept. 21-22 2002 - www.maam.org ** *** World Airshow News - www.worldairshownews.com ** --------------------------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM]On > Behalf Of Steve Huy > Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 11:44 AM > To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM > Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Blue Jay gutter cleaners > > > Sounds like a good deal to me.
