While all my house sparrows are, unfortunately, thriving, I saw something new to me last week. A bluejay was carrying a small mouse in its tallons and stopping to feed at low branches of evergreen trees. I didn't see the jay catch the mouse, so it might have been a "found object," but I've not see jays eat mammals before. I know that crows are omnivores and that jays are in the same family, but the mouse thing was new. jay in Salem, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
