Hi All, I had an interesting experience yesterday near the Vadnais Lake reservoir in Ramsey County. As suggested by the subject line, I think I heard a Blue Jay mimicking a Ring-Billed Gull. I give a little bit more narrative in my eBird checklist here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S66308727
Aside from the miscellaneous binks and bonks they make, I've heard Blue Jays mimicking Red-tailed, Broad-winged, and Cooper's Hawks, but I've never heard a non-raptor bird being mimicked. Apparently, this isn't without precedence, either: https://z.umn.edu/blja_rbgu_pdf. Am I mis-identifying this? -- Adam Herman St. Paul, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
