\maketitle

\noindent
Ordinarily, cites used in titles or figure captions also appear in
the table of contents and list of figures.  If you then run \texttt{bibtex}
using the \pkg{unsrt} (unsorted) style, they get numbered starting from 1,
not the number they should have in the main text.

A good option is to avoid cites in titles, and to specify optional
caption text without cites:\\[0.4ex]
\small
\verb+\caption [Picture of a bird.]{Picture of a bird \cite{audobon}.}+
\normalsize

If you must use moving cites, you could manage them by deleting \textsc{toc} 
and \textsc{lof} files, then running \texttt{latex} once, then \texttt{bibtex}\@.  However, the
following definition fixes the problem so you don't need to worry
about that.  

\emph{NOTE:} This definition works for the ordinary \LaTeX\ definitions
for \cmd{\cite} and others (\cmd{\addtocontents}, \cmd{\label}) but it may well
fail when used with various packages for citations or cross
references.  

It works by locally setting \cmd{\@fileswfalse}, which is something like
\cmd{\nofiles}, but \cmd{\@fileswfalse} does not affect \cmd{\label} or \cmd{\addtocontents}.
\cmd{\nofiles} does most of its work by redefining \cmd{\protected@write}, and
neither \cmd{\addtocontents} nor \cmd{\label} check for \cs{if@filesw}.  \cmd{\cite} \emph{does}
check \cs{if@filesw}.
