A carnivorous jay [View all]

A few years ago I was dismayed, and posted here, when a jay mauled a house finch and carried it away.

Yesterday a jay was poking in the snow and carried a dead (not poisoned) mouse.

We keep enclosed mouse traps in the basement where we (spouse) dispose of the victim and the trap can be used again.

Usually it is the crow is waiting for breakfast but perhaps could not find it in the snow..
