Dear Outdoor Cat Owners/Feral Cat Supporters, Does the photo above sicken you? I’m allergic to cats, but in my lifetime I’ve rescued five of them. The last one, who took up residence under my house on a frigid January afternoon, is now a friend’s happy, healthy indoor cat. Is it the fault of the cats?

This was where I set up my bird feeders, just one at first, then expanding as everyone expressed delight in seeing the Carolina Chickadees, Dark-eyed Juncos, and Downy Woodpeckers. I picked up a Downy Woodpecker, an every-day visitor. I was shocked when I found the first body, a female Towhee. The window silhouettes were gone.

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!

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?

What is wrong with a parks department that does nothing about feral cat colonies in the parks but takes down bird feeders? Without the feeders where will the Red-bellied Woodpeckers get their peanuts? When I moved to Queens I specifically chose a place to live close to Forest Park because of the birding opportunities there.

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.
