Cats and Birds. There is no question that cats do stalk and kill birds, but cats are an insignif¬icant factor in overall bird mortality. To cite two of a number of biological studies of the stomach contents of cats, only 6 of 50 cats in Wisconsin had eaten birds as their last meal, and birds provided a final repast for only 4% of a group of cats in Oklahoma. Wildlife authori¬ties insist that other birds—jays, for example-kill more birds than do cats. Moreover, cats are themselves the prey of some birds, like the great horned owl.

Although most birds build nests, those that lay their eggs on the ground often do not. Many shore birds and terns merely scrape a slight hol¬low in the sand or grass in which to lay the eggs. The young of such species are usually "nidifugous" or precocial—that is, they are covered with down and follow their mother as soon as they hatch just like chicks or ducklings. In other birds the young remain where hatched for some time, and a substantial nest is usually necessary. The young of such birds are often ugly and naked when hatched, although in hawks and other spe¬cies they are covered with down. Turkey vul¬tures make no nest, even though their downy young do not leave the cave or hollow where they are hatched for many weeks.
