Over the weekend I got to spend some time in the yard, about 1/2 mile north 
of Hidden Villa, just over the Sherlock ridge towards Byrne Preserve. Early 
in the day on Saturday, I hear a ruckus in one of the oaks, with a flock of 
very agitated Stellars jays squawking loudly. This went on for about a 
minute, and ended when a raven flew out of the oak with a jay chick in its 
bill.

The raven made a bee-line towards Hidden Villa with its prey. I was 
surprised none of the jays chased it off.

Could a raven preying on jays help reduce jay predation on smaller songbirds?

Patty
