[cayugabirds-l] RTHA on HEB
Just saw a RTHA on top of Human Ecology Building on Cornell campus, peering down into the courtyard between HEB and MVR, then it flew down a bit, thought better of it, flew confusedly back into south side of building window glass but not at any speed, floundered a bit, but landed back on top of building roof. Last week we saw a fox searching the courtyard during late afternoon, possibly a nursing mom, so there must be a rodent population; let's hope it's healthy and not fed rodenticide!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.
Evening of Monday April 21, observed 2 osprey with nesting material landing on each of the three tallest light poles at the Ithaca High School stadium/track. There are no platforms there so I doubt they will be successful. Took a few shots with an ordinary camera.

I am not sure if it got out of there or not. It is on the right side of the driveway between Bradfield and the greenhouse. I am not sure it would be able to fly out of there. I would hate for it to be stuck in there all weekend.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes
My friend who has battled Lyme for years said that his tests came back negative. There are different strains of Lyme in different parts of the country and each Lab only tests for their local strains. Nobody runs a test for all the flavors of Lyme. So you have to keep getting tested and send sample out to different testing labs...Christianne From: bounce-58282060-26885...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-58282060-26885...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Donna Scott Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 10:15 AM To: Ann Mitchell; John and Fritzie Blizzard Cc: geoklop...@gmail.com; CAYUGABIRDS-L Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes And one can get a large, oval solid rash that is not like a bull's eye one with separate rings, and still be free of Lyme Disease! Last year I had a tick embedded in my neck/collarbone area and it made such a rash (solid red, no rings); later blood testing and lack of symptoms showed no Lyme Disease (luckily). However, sometimes it still itches there. Even though we all took precautions, I just came back from the SFO Cape May, NJ trip with a small reddish tick embedded in the small of my back. Did not look like a Deer Tick, but I am keeping an eye on the area (with a mirror). Found and removed within 24 hours of embedding, I think, so it would not have had time to disgorge its intestinal contents. Yuck. However, I have not seen many ticks around Lansing area since our winter summer weather a few months ago. Maybe the later extreme cold killed off that first bunch? But they will be back.

Our 56 yr. old son had Lyme last spring/early summer was very seriously ill for close to 2 mos., initially refusing to go to a dr.. I'm so thankful that a man with whom he works told him how CRITICALLY ill his own daughter became from the effects of Lyme. This was the 2nd time in 3 yrs., with last yr. being FAR, FAR, FAR worse than the first bout. (Both times the ticks were in hard to spot places it was the red rash that made him aware.) He had unrelenting high fever for three wks. with temp. that finally peaked at 103.4 deg. accompanied by chills, sweating, dreadful, unending headache, as well as aches pains everywhere. Whether it was just the Lyme or his bad reaction to Doxycycline we'll never know but his hands were very red, very sore very swollen with blisters deep in the flesh eventually the skin peeled off. He has had flu/cold-like bouts several times since then. From what I've read, these other weird effects can continue to crop up. Folks, this is not a simple virus, it'll-go-away-in-due-time type thing even tho' it acts like a virus. If you have the red rash .. get to the dr. fast. Blood tests rarely come back positive but that rash is the basic thing to look for. Seems that there are drs. who tend to pooh-pooh the whole idea but besides our son, we have a friend in NH, heart of tick country, who has been through severe medical crises since having Lyme twice.
