Jay and Dove

Blue Jay and Mourning Dove
Their latin names are Cyanocitta cristata and Zenaida macroura so I think I'll call them Crista and Zena. Here they are peacefully feeding together even though the FCPS nature site says that Blue Jays don't like to share AND that they are predators of Mourning Doves!

  1. You know... now that you say that... this is the first time I have ever seen them together. They must have been really hungry.
