Comments on: Is there some for me? http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/2009/06/15/is-there-some-for-me/ A Bird Blog with Kate St. John Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:53:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Barb Simon http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/2009/06/15/is-there-some-for-me/comment-page-1/#comment-7663 Barb Simon Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:46:43 +0000 http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/?p=7371#comment-7663 Speaking of Poison Ivy, I avoided the rash after exposure a few years ago. I was going into a restaurant after being in a park where I had contacted the stuff. I rubbed ketchup all over my hands , then went and washed it off in the ladies room. I never got the rash, and the ketchup felt wonderful. My hands and forearms were tingling all over before the ketchup treatment and I knew I was in big trouble. SAVED by the ketchup. It takes skunk oil off of dogs, so I guess it cut the poison ivy oil too. Speaking of Poison Ivy, I avoided the rash after exposure a few years ago.

They have plenty of 'equipment' reasons to be up there. Usually the rain washes it away but Facilities Management does clean up when they visit the roof.

Does someone have the unenviable job of having to periodically have to clean up the blood and other uneaten parts or do they just leave it to other scavengers or to be washed away by the rain?

They have to be better at flying before they use that skill to catch a bird. In the meantime they are playing in the air and building their skills. They aren’t hunting on their own yet.

Lunch time is too short or I would be there watching them too! I miss watching them every day. Wow! They do grow up fast. Kate - Are they not yet getting food on their own? Are they still learning how to maneuver and practicing hunting skills? Thanks Kate and Kimberly for the update and sharing the photo. Lunch time is too short or I would be there watching them too!

I am enjoying all the facts about who & what & why can take care of sick peregrines etc. Enjoy all your plant info. My brother used to get poison ivy if someone was burning it; the smoke would carry the oil. It was okay if they burned it when it was brown but not the green leaves. He is 68 now & still is very careful. Faith C. you may think these are bad pictures but to me they are wonderful.
