[CT Birds] How many raptors do Blue Jays do?

[Scott Ricker]

The only two birds I have heard Blue Jays mimic are Red-Shouldered &
Red-tail hawks. Last summer I was traveling this back road in Southwick
often and stopped at least 6 times thinking I heard a Red-shouldered, only
to find a few Blue Jays, they are good at it!

Blue Jays are notorious mimics. The most frequently heard raptor imitation
that I have heard them do is Red-shouldered Hawk. I have never heard one
mimic an accipiter. I'm curious, what other raptors have the readers of
this forum heard Blue Jay's mimic?
