A new study in The Journal of Ornithology on the mortality of baby gray catbirds in the Washington suburbs found that cats were the No. 1 killer in the area, by a large margin.
Cat owners know this full well of course. Also, the gray catbirds can't be thrilled about their name. Might as well be called the winged fancy feastbird.
