In the contest between sparrow and kestrel, the kestrel mostly wins.

But blue jays are a pretty even match.

And while the kestrel has a formidable arsenal, the blue jay's bill makes it a potentially fatal adversary. Knowing this, these jays tried to move this kestrel off his kill.

This bird eventually flew out to the southwest and I lost it somewhere over 104th St. The fact that it was bringing prey back to its nest is an interesting piece of info. Ill try to follow up on it.
this pic proves blue jays nest in Central Park year round.
