Video Description:

This Blue Jay perfectly imitates the most common sound of an Osprey or "Fish Eagle" calling in the Backyard. I kept hearing what i thought were osprey in the Backyard for the last six months only to be fooled by a Blue Jay, but today I finally got it on video. You be the judge - the imitation is pretty spot on. This behavior has been documented in Florida, but I'm not aware of any audiovisual documentation so I consider myself fortunate to finally catch the "impersonator" in the act.
