I'll affirm the theory that the crows are probably eating the "nice" birds for lunch.

Once, while approaching my house I spied a large bird sitting on the telephone wire. As I got closer, I noticed it was working on something. I figured a hawk had just grabbed one of a zillion ground squirrels (and welcome to it) and was getting his prey situated before taking it home. So, as I got closer I notice feathers flying and floating down from the site. A crow was rather passionately plucking a former flying friend in preparation for a snack. I was a little shocked. "Moiderer". I hadn't previously known that crows were carnivores. GW's voice said in my brain "crows are such carnivores" and I replied "yeah, big time".

Anyway, we have three kittens which we keep in the garage at night lest an owl swoop down on 'em. Now, in the daytime we pretty much let them take their chances with the hawks and buzzards. Do buzzards kill their prey or just clean up?

Anybody ever lost a pet to a bird of prey? One of the cats has taken to pooping outside the litter boxes in a certain place on the garage floor so I'm not exactly opposed to the concept.

So, two more questions come to mind:

1. How do you stop a cat from pooping somewhere you don't want him pooping?

2. How do you accentuate the attractiveness of a kitten to creatures who love felines in their own special way.
