A blue jay and cardinal have a fight over some food. See video.

Notes:

I had fun putting music to this very short little clip that I happened to catch yesterday. It wasn't as dramatic as it seems.

Thanks Christy! I thought the Cardinal was holding his own. They seemed to have a compromise after the fight. Then the cardinal got his territory back but it wasn't long before the blackbird came along and took over the spot.

Neat video!! Looks like the bigger & badder blue jay took control! Little piglet!! ;-)
