From Friends of Roberts Bird Sanctuary
Fabulous video by Jeanette Mayo of Bluejays and a Brown Thrasher scolding a Great Horned Owl in Roberts Bird Sanctuary, July 2024.
An example of mobbing behavior, an uncommon act of different species working together. While the songbirds pose little danger, they can annoy dangerous birds of prey to move on to get some peace and quiet.
Owl: I am on a quest for the holy grail
Jay: we already got one
If you will not show us the grail, we will have to take your tree by force!
