Re: blue heron > trash trees

Its all in where you live. Folks in the Great Plains States, where few substantial trees grow, tend to appreciate the cottonwood. The Arapahoe believed that the stars scattered across the sky were the result of the "cotton" scattered by the cottonwood.

One tree I put in before I was told I shouldn't, is a Pin Oak. This really
grew fast and it seems quite happy where it is and I'm happy with it. I've
limbed it up as High as I can from my tallest ladder. The only problem is
that they don't drop most of their leaves until early spring. So it's a bit
of a pain to clean up, but any deciduous tree is going to drop leaves.

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,

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!

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?
