feral cat with a Golden-crowned Kinglet by Isaac Grant. Pity the poor souls at Alley Cat Allies. So on 16 October, which Alley Cat Allies has turned into “National Feral Cat Day,” local governments got an earful. After all, someone is taking care of all those cats, right? Example one?

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.

It's a city in Florida on our largest lake, Lake Okeechobee. Sure, it takes an hour to get there and I have no idea how I'm going to get 10 cats in my car or even trap 10 cats, but I'm still enjoying the honeymoon phase of the concept and reveling in some kind of victory I had nothing to do with. What's in Pahokee you ask?

It wasn't much--clusters of mushroom-like townhouses that are ubiquitous in Florida--but it was on a lake. Now I have the drama of the feral cats and of course the greyhounds. And a dead end. So there was no traffic, no noise, and each day we awoke to the drama of the creatures who lived right outside our door.

There were birders from a wide cross-section of the United States: Colorado, Ohio, Idaho, Iowa, Wyoming, Washington State, Pennsylvania, New York State, New Jersey, California, Texas, Florida. They range from the successful eradication of feral cats from Marion Island (hear that, Corey?) And then there were the Flamingos.

In other words what are the chances of one of these extremely remote species showing up in a less remote place – like my backyard in Lake Worth, Florida? Its numbers are declining rapidly due to feral cats and this duck is currently listed as vulnerable. Eaton’s Pintail by N.
