A nesting pair of Blue Jays versus a female Pileated Woodpecker that must be pecking for bugs too close to their nest. Blue Jays never cease to amaze me! One Jay makes quite hard contact on the body of the woodpecker, but like most big birds it just takes the abuse in stride and doesn't waste energy trying to reciprocate. The woodpecker puts a great move on the second Blue Jay leading to a clean miss on what would have been a hard body blow. Filmed in Florida June 1st.
