Some are just somewhat less likely to kill than others. Any poison for an eyass is likely a death sentence. The reason we always try to get people to do without poison, particularly during hawk season, and use other means of rat control but some of the unenlightened just won't stand for not using poison.Donegal Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809720759418462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-3287347660087562292012-04-11T00:52:43.660-04:002012-04-11T00:52:43.660-04:00Hi Karen Anne,

There is some dispute whether the fires were due to native people burning off areas in order to be able to hunt deer more easily or the fires were due to lightening or a little bit of both. Burr Oaks in particular are pretty impervious to fire. These days the burners tend to rake the "fuel" out from around the base of the oaks before a controlled burn so that the bark isn't disfigured for aesthetic reasons as opposed to worry about killing the tree.Donegal Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809720759418462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-50645280648320652492012-04-10T21:42:03.807-04:002012-04-10T21:42:03.807-04:00Nice brochure. i will be sharing it, although I t...Nice brochure. i will be sharing it, although I thought one of the "use sparingly" poisons was that which killed the Riverside Eyasses?sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-6726743531719761492012-04-06T03:08:18.544-04:002012-04-06T03:08:18.544-04:00Some of the Eastern population whooping cranes are...Some of the Eastern population whooping cranes are back in Wisconsin also and have started building nests.<br /><br />The oak trees are okay with the burn? Their bark must have developed a tolerance to mild burns?<br /><br />Phragmites - infest the waterways where I live. I don't know how they can be gotten rid of here, since there is not solid ground to stand on.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.com
