- A scrub jay has begun coming and taking peanuts from my hand (!) and then
- flying off and hiding them - I've seen this a number of times - including
- for a hiding place the pile of garden clippings where the jay carefully
- covered the peanut with the clippings.
-
- So. Is this jay a male or female? and why do they do what appears really
- fairly inefficient?
