I am staying with my parents for a few weeks in a New York City suburb.  They have a few stray cats that they feed each day on the deck.  I have noticed that there are always 4 or 5 bluejays that gather around during feeding time in the trees around the deck.  As soon as the cats start to walk away, they descend on the food, often squawking and arguing over the leftovers.  The cats seem scared of them, as the birds are pretty aggressive.  Very interesting to watch! I just started this course, and I'm trying to identify all the birds I see each day around the yard.
