We didn’t have Scrub Jays at the coast where I moved from, so when I saw them
do that here I figured it was their normal behavior. I’ve been here nearly 21
years, and I can’t remember not seeing that behavior.

Is your Scrub-Jay for hire? Will it offer training webinars for my Scrub-Jays?
:-)
I've never seen that behavior before.

This may be nothing new to all of you that frequently have scrub jays at your
home, but I don't have one visit that often and wanted to see how common this
behavior is.
I have witnessed this scrub jay 3 times go to the eves of my house and pull off
paper wasp nests and eat what is inside. I don't have very many wasp nests this
year but one of them did provide quite the nice meal!
