Bird ID?
My wife has been telling me about a pair of birds that have been raising cane around a certain feeder. She said are very noisy and agrressive, that they have a deep blue head and a green body.
I was checking game cams and came across a pic of this species of bird in action. It's not quite in focus but its like she described. Anyone know what they are? I don't think they are native but I could be wrong.

It's a Green Jay, I've only seen them in South Texas. Just one of the unique beauties found in that region of the state.

Green jays, vermillion flycatchers, and painted buntings---the three most colorful birds in S. Tx.

Crazy. Having been born and raised in South Texas, never even crossed my mind that people wouldn't know what a green jay is. Never really thought about them only being down south.

I was amazed the first time I saw one, very pretty, very aggressive, and after watching awhile I discovered they are the most bada-- non-raptor in the south Texas brush.

I've also seen them tear into a deer carcass hanging in a tree. Three or four of them can take out a chunk of venison rump roast in no time. They're beautiful, but evil!
