Cat Versus Bird
The extremities of advocacy
This year for some reason or other the eternal hunt of our beloved cats for our equally beloved feathered friends appears to have created more controversy and has made more news than for as long as I can recall. Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson had reason to say no more on the subject.

Feline Parasite Kills Sea Otters
Kitty litter is the culprit
Cat feces can contain Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that gets into feline systems from the eating of infected rodents, birds or other small animals, according to Dr. Melissa Miller of the California Department of Fish and Game. Cats later expel in their droppings parasites — sometimes hundreds of millions at a time — that can survive in soil for over a year and that also contaminate drinking water.

A Smudge of a Super-giant
Like Antares, our own sun is destined to burn red
As the sun sets around 7:30 this week, a brilliant point of light pierces the darkening skies low in the west. Jupiter is the brightest light visible, and although it climbs no higher, there’s little mistaking its steady yellow-orange glow.

Opening Dove Season
Me and my best gun against small, fast birds
I stopped at the top of the hill, then eased back into an opening in the first cornrow. The shadows cast by the tall stalks shielded me from the blazing afternoon sun, and the camouflage clothes I wore minimized my presence. Placing an ammo bag and a soft cooler in the row beside me, I gently broke open the slim, Fox 16-gauge I was going to shoot that day.

Wednesday Night Races
At summer’s end, all us species are racing against time
At Wednesday night race time, sailboats converged on the starting line off the mouth of Annapolis harbor. A steady 10-knot breeze blew out of the west, right down the Severn.
