Can one jam an overhead SAR from the ground? For example, by aiming a radar beam at the bird to fuzz a location?

You can jam it (if you know the right frequencies) and you can also passively blow it out with a big corner reflector, which tends to result in a very bright spot and loss of surrounding detail.
