Blue Jay with a Treat
Bue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) photos seem ultra popular. Here is one that I took just a couple of days ago.
“The Blue Jay frequently mimics the calls of hawks, especially the Red-shouldered Hawk. These calls may provide information to other jays that a hawk is around or may be used to deceive other species into believing a hawk is present.” - allaboutbirds.org

I remember my oldest brother remarking that though beautiful, bluejays are jerks.I infer then that they mimic a predator call so they get more food (scaring off other birds, etc).
Yep.
