Mark Gamin, a Cleveland lawyer, likes cats and birds both. He likes books too, which made him the ideal reviewer for Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer. Marra and Chris Santella, authors of Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer (Princeton University Press, 212 pp.,
First he thought it was a book of poetry, but when I said no, he proceeded with a long story about the red sparrows ( House Finches ) at his new feeder. These signs point to the fact that this book is both lovely and necessary. All this, she accomplishes in 165 pages, not stinting on lovely illustrations, many in color.
Feral Muscovy Ducks seem to attract many of those epithets. Not only are the individual ducks hard to look at, but in groups, the feral populations create the same messes other masses of waterfowl do. Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct. Thanks for visiting!
It isn’t a very promising park, to be sure – it’s loaded with art, and everyone knows that birds hate art, or maybe they hate the feralcats that live under the art (probably the latter.) I gave the stink-eye to the obviously well-fed cats. People walk their dogs and do yoga there.
I wish for a federal law prohibiting domestic and feralcats from roaming free outdoors. Violation of the law would be punishable by substantial fines, plus the cat owners would be required to perform community service at a local wildlife rehabilitation facility. Change in Law. That’s easy!” wrote Veronica in California. “I
Walking along a dirt track next to a prairie, my friend and I were on the look-out for different sparrow species when a large bird suddenly darted into the clearing. Car collisions, feralcats, and run-ins with hunters also cause problems, even for this speed-racer.
Every March, hope springs anew that I’ll cross paths with one of these feral fluffballs, but as April ends, so do another year’s delirious dreams. Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct. Wicked, right? Hat-tip to Stella.
Feral geese run the gamut from pure white to almost entirely gray or brown. Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct. Even the ones that bear the same plumage as their progenitors, however, can usually be distinguished by their larger bulk. Wicked, right?
They range from the successful eradication of feralcats from Marion Island (hear that, Corey?) Both trips combined, I was away for 22 days, my longest birding trip ever.
The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feralcat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of FeralCat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. From the Star Tribune : Feralcats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. But I don’t want to do nothing.”.
Over the next few days, I found increasing numbers, goldfinches, juncos, white-throated sparrows. I was shocked when I found the first body, a female Towhee. I hoped it was an anomaly. Were they always there and I just never noticed?
Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feralcat colony organizations. It started with donation requests for spay and neutering cats but then quickly transferred to a trap, neuter and release organization. On the one hand, it’s better than doing nothing with a feralcat colony.
