blue jay vs swallow-tailed kite



hi y'all,
    this eve a few mi. south of conway on us hwy 701, observed a blue jay in
dogged pursuit of a STKI. i had to laugh. what's up with that, i wondered?
the kite steal a grasshopper from it?
    times is tough here in the coastal plain this year. no rain, no bugs,
and a right nice little piece of horry county's on fire.
    did see some kinda way cool moth today, looking as if it had just
emerged. big, yellowish cecropia-looking sorta thing. snapped a few frames;
we'll see what develops...
