Re: blue heron > trash trees

When I lived in Connecticut, and needed my fireplace, I had a gizmo that rolled 'logs' out of newspaper. They really did put out a lot of heat.

You might mention to him [if he's an audiologist, you may have to get close and speak real loud] that newspaper has more BTUs than cottonwood. You can burn a cord of cottonwood and not generate enough heat to boil a tea kettle of water.

The Audiologist I work with just bought a house and he can't wait to put in
a cottonwood. ?I asked, "why?, so your neighbors will hate you?" No, he
just likes them, likes the fact that they grow so fast, wants a tree to sit
under. Wants the litter that falls cuz he'd like to put in a wood burning
stove. glad he's not moving into my neighborhood.

So why do people put in trash trees? Cuz they're ignorant.

Little bit off subject here, but how come you've got trash trees like
cottonwoods growing in your neighborhood?

I think someone did try a regular ladder, but it was a tall tree,  they
thought maybe a cottonwood.  Maybe there was nothing much anyone  could
do,
but it's such a shame.

Don't know about Indiana but around here my local PD calls me! We
have alot of conservation type people also that will come in. Mostly
I have had to help with owls! Only one water foul till the game
warden picked him up! Didn't anyone have a ladder? I know they are a
pesky bird but I would think someone could have done something!
How inhumane is that!

considered based on the hypothetical lawsuit(s) that might be filed

I'm not sure what is wrong with the folks around here.  Everything
is
always
someone else's problem.
A locla column today wrote about a lttle boy who saw a great blue

heron

hanging upside down in a cottonwood tree, trying to get untangled.

They
called animal control, the fire department, the DNR, all of which
said
they
couldn't do anything. After 6 hrs the bird was bloody from the high
winds
and its efforts to get loose so DNR authorized shooting it - if
anyone
happened to have a gun, which finally someone found. Unfortunately,
the

carcass is still hanging there.  They said someone finally called  a

tree

service the next day, hoping they can get it down.

I'm not sure what should be done, but don't you think the second

largest
county in Indiana should have some plan in place for such problems?
