Hi momsavang, your spotting makes an important point about the impact of cats on wildlife. It's a very touchy subject since it at first seems like an "us-or-them" situation, but many of us wildlife lovers are also crazy about our cats.

Here are some articles you could add to your notes for this spotting. https://www.tyrantfarms.com/5-ways-to-st... https://abcbirds.org/program/cats-indoor... https://wildlifemanagement.institute/out...
