    What goes around comes around. I watched a jay nest
    raided, and then raided again by ravens, while the
    parents made mournful and helpless calls; first time
    that I'd ever felt sorry for a jay!
    
    Perhaps it was guilt that you were feeling, for
    inadvertantly providing the jays with "sitting duck"
    snacks? Corvids are opportunists, just like we humans.
    Probably that's why their actions tend to bother us so
    much. 
    
    Hard to watch when it's in your 
    backyard, tho. We're used to our natural history gore
    at once remove. Nature Channel anyone?
