Got one more as if flew toward a large tree about 75 yards from the patch of trees where I first found the flock. I only wounded it so we picked it up an tried to get some noise out of it - but it only "cawed" rather softly - (Have color shot of Bonifacio with this jay in the field of grass - The large trees will be shown in the background). Meanwhile, another bird from the same flock perched in a tree about 75 yards away and "cawed" loudly - a simple harsh 'caw - caw'.
