Interesting! I heard what I thought was a hawk today and eventually the (seemingly) same bird transitioned to another call which I recognized as blue jay. Also two weeks ago I heard some really strange bird noises and when I used Merlin sound ID it first identified a red tailed hawk, then a blue jay. I wonder if it was actually just a blue jay both times?

Totally possible! Blue jays are excellent little mimics, and I’ve had Merlin get fooled by mockingbirds before.
I appreciate this bird fact. Highlight of my day!
