It looks to us like 'taunting', but the jays are protecting their nests/young. Trying to make the owls go somewhere else...

Because owl's raid their nest? I know that's why birds are always chasing hawks through the sky angrily. And crows.

GAH!!! anyone?? I'm having the same problem...I always celebrate the Solstice on the 21st in the evening, which is Tuesday as far as I can tell...looks like the lunar eclipse is from midnight the evening of Monday til around 4:00 am in the morning of Tuesday. Somehow it just doesn't feel like its happening on the Solstice.....what do you think? I just kept visualizing the eclipse on Tuesday night....dark into light and all that.....sigh
