In August this last summer time in the late afternoon I took a soda and my binoculars and went to the back porch to loosen up and view some wild lifestyle. There is often lots of exercise on my acre of land. This time there had been about a dozen pair of doves grazing on the south side of the backyard beyond the trees. There was a lot of seed on the ground. We had plenty of rain in July and the weeds have been all over the place. The doves, loving it, had been eating seeds up as quick as they could. They have been so intent on feeding that they did not seem to be to notice me or anything at all else about them.
It was then that I observed two Blue Jays diving and flying around in really a dither. One thing had them very agitated. One particular Jay would fly close to and then dart in and out toward one particular of our pine trees. All the time he was squawking at the prime of his lungs. I had never ever heard this kind of a racket from them ahead of. Obviously he did not like what he saw in his pine tree.
Focusing on the pine tree, I looked cautiously for the irritant. About two thirds the way up the trunk was a stunning Boreal Owl. He was perched on a limb with his back resting against the trunk of the tree. His demeanor was calm like he had not a care in the planet but he stored hunting back and forth all around the yard. Im positive he noticed the Jays, but appeared to not be bothered. Nonetheless the Jays had been very upset at his getting there in there tree.
I watched for awhile. It was very entertaining and lots of enjoyable. Individuals birds have been very a demonstrate. I could not have planned it if I had attempted. They appeared to never tire or flitting around striving to get the Owl to go away. I dont believe the Jays succeeded. They probably gave up in frustration.
When I retired for the night the show was still going on. One Jay would dive toward the pine tree and then the other Jay would take his flip. Because I needed to get up early the up coming day, I last but not least left the present and went to bed. Increasing early the following morning, I received up and went out to see how factors were in the back yard. The Owl had gone, most likely bored with the complete factor. The Jays have been happily articles in their pine tree. All the world was appropriate once more in my back yard.
