A Hungry Jay. — On July 5th I found a Blue 

 Jay eating a young Bluebird nearly full grown. 

 It had eaten the head, neck and viscera. On 

 first discovering the Blue Jay I scared it away 

 and threw what remained of the victim under 

 some bushes. In a short time I returned that 

 way and found the Jay eating the Bluebird. 

 He Was so greedy that he had hunted up the 

 bird to finish his meal. It is needless to say 

 that I shot him.
