Backyard Visitor 10

I'm really not trying to make light of a situation, but there was recently a tragedy in my back yard. I found a Bluejay laying next to one of the windows of my perch where I take photos of the visitors. His neck appeared broken and I thought he had just flown into the window. It happens quite frequently. However, when going through my files I found this photo where a Bluejay seemed to be giving a dove the once-over. Could there be a jealous bluejay on the loose? The cause of death was changed from accidental to suspicious. An investigation is currently underway. A little bird told me that a female bluejay left yesterday for Canada. This could have been in the photojournalism gallery, but out of respect to the dove, I'm keeping it out of the mainstream news.

I think this Blue Jay is eyeing the Red Socks and wishes to change teams.

"Chuckles"....great story..you tell 'em good 😉...this happens often outside our window too...only last week...a Dove tried a few times to smash into our window...We were told it could be the reflection, that the bird sees of itself..and thinks it's an enemy....

I think you're being a good guy and don't want to hurt any bird. We have enough bad news. Guess I'd keep the photo private too. Good one though.

---An investigation is currently underway---

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), the complexity of this investigation isn't an easy task. I hope the investigative team will analyze the contents of the black box quickly and thoroughly. It's also recommended that an international investigation request will be circulated. If you had access to a photo of the female counterpart who fled to Canada, a so-called 'most wanted' poster would be made. I hope that this apparent case of bird crime will be clarified quickly.

Cute story line to go with this one. I do know they will fly into windows so I make sure I have something large placed in front mine that are by the feeders. :) tigz=^..^=

At this point, it is all circumstantial evidence and not enough to convict any bird. Yet if your dig further you might get a confession, Tick. Good shot and story.
