Habitat is the key to the whole story and when it is gone the rest will follow. Way back in the Soil Bank days we had tons of preditors and tons of birds also and now we are dependant on the CRP programs which is working well to a lesser extent.
Yotes are somewhat a problem but that little fox will eat Everything that moves and had to tell the damage the coons and crows do to the nests.
When you have one little spot of cover ALL the animals and birds head for it and the predators come out ahead. When you have acres of cover the other animals have a better chance of making it and getting away from the fox ect.
