>>Planting lots of natives in our yards
will make little difference for ground- and near-ground-nesting birds
(which seem especially vulnerable to cat predation) until we deal with
the C-problem.<<

This spring I planted pyrocanthea bushes in my yard for the winter
berries and as a determent of cats and other mammals. Would cats,
racoons, or squirrels jump into a thorny bush to reach a bird?
