Blue Jays Lose In
Battle With Cats
HOUSTON — A fledgling blue-
jay, making its maiden flight,
dropped into the clutches of a
hungry cat and the parent birds
battled the feline lor four and
one-halt hours before they gave
up and watched their offspring
devoured.
The backyard, action filled dra-
ma was observed by Jack Lang-
ston. 27-year-old chemist, who said
he noticed the father and mother
bluejay at 4 a. in as they herded
three tiny offsprings to their first
flights.
One of the tiny birds fell lo the
ground and the cat leaped on it.
But the two parent bluejays, with
' the poise of jet planes, dived re-
I peatedly at the cat which held the
captured bird with his right paw
while he swung at the older birds
i with his left.
I This went on. Langston said, un-
til 8:30
