That blue jay had been making that call all winter. Very convincing!

Hi All,
At Clapp Park this morning I heard a Mississippi Kite calling repeatedly
near the wildflower garden. After searching several minutes I spotted the
culprit , a Blue Jay. It was very persistent in its mimicking of a
Mississippi Kite.
After Clapp, I went to McAlister Park and was rewarded with two Say’s
Phoebes, two Brewer Sparrows, two Burrowing Owls, and one Sage Thrasher.
The Sage Thrasher was in a small elm tree in the ravine near where the dirt
road passes over a culvert on the northeast side, close to the metal
buildings.
