Baby Loon Eating Fish & Harassed by Jet Ski (Koaw gets angry😠.)
Переглядів 246Рік тому
Koaw calls the game warden on a man harassing the loon family. Watch this loon chick eat plenty of fish and learn how to avoid predators. This chick will need to learn all it can from the loon parents because they will leave without the chick in a couple of months. The loon story continues!

Riding mom's back...and getting knocked off; it's all a part of being an adorable four-days-old baby loon. This family of common loons (Gavia immer) lives in the Northwoods of Wisconsin until they will migrate south for the winter. This baby loon will primarily eat fish from its parents until it learns how to fish on its own. Bluegill, perch and pumpkinseed are the top items on the menu for the...

Great Blue Heron Catches Big Fish...after Snapping at a Turtle

This great blue heron hangs with turtles and tries to swallow a largemouth bass. It can be dangerous to swallow prey that is too big.

    I am from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. What if birders in the US or Canada do not know or not familiar with bird feathers in Asia, and I pick up that feather 🪶 and bring it home , would that constitute “illegal” ?

    I realize this was 5 years ago, but I have just seen it now & want to say that I am impressed with all the work you did, your willingness to sacrifice your body for science, & the fact that you were able to share some valuable info with us, in spite of the fact that this wasn't done using strict scientific methods. I do think there is often something to be gained from empirical study, if it is done with an effort to stick to some standards, & hold to some guidelines that make sense, especially when you've given 7 different scenarios which you made an effort to keep somewhat "pure". Having said that, I would like to make a couple observations that you might wish to consider, should you ever contemplate doing a similar experiment again (please don't! Lol); or it might just be helpful to someone watching, as additional info to help them prevent their own urushiol dermatitis. One is regarding your control group on the upper left leg: because you did not wash any of the urushiol off of that, but showered normally, the shower water would potentially have washed some of the urushiol down that leg, where it could have contacted the three locations below it, potentially polluting those areas you had already cleansed, & altering your results. Because that area was to remain contaminated until your shower, that spot might have been better placed at the bottom location. Also, your rubbing alcohol spot might have been improved b/c the rubbing alcohol denatured some of the urushiol at that location, OR, because the rubbing alcohol was on a wipe. The improved response there may have been related to the FRICTION of actually mechanically WIPING the wipe over that area! OR, it may have been the combination of the two. In any event using FRICTION, to rub the deposited urushiol away, does appear to be one of the most important factors in preventing developing rash, by actually removing some or all of the urushiol that is in contact with the skin. In fact, I have seen a very good video here on YT from 9 years ago [from Extreme Deer Habitat, called "How to never have a serious poison ivy rash again"], where friction, even with using only water on a towel, was shown to be more effective that some strong cleaners, if those cleaners were applied & then rinsed off WITHOUT using friction to remove the underlying urushiol! Though I don't want you to have to deal with a case of poison ivy again, I'd love to see you do another empirical study, while taking these two issues I have mentioned into consideration! In any event, I enjoyed your video, including the physiology you explained, & still gained several valuable pieces of info from it! Kudos to you & TY for sharing your work with us! Also, I enjoyed seeing what a loving Uncle you are ... nicely done! ["Poison Ivy Remedy Experiment + URUSHIOL SCIENCE" | Koaw Nature] [6.14.2024]

    Excellent demonstration and super information! I've got poison ivy for the first time, at 62 years old. I'm an avid native gardener, and spend a lot of time in the woods. I honestly thought that I was immune to the stuff, but alas, after collecting horsetail rush that was growing amongst the poison ivy, my left butt cheek is covered in the telltale blistery rash, and tomorrow is my granddaughters' ballet recital...I'm really looking forward to sitting on my blistering buttocks for 3 hours😂

    They are ubiquitous in Mississauga, and Toronto, Ontario, and have been since at least 1960, when I came here. There aren't too many in the wild woods of Haliburton County. They definitely prefer to be in urban areas. Some are burrowing in around the insulation next to my Air Conditioner, and building a nest there; one female came in and did poop poo in the washroom and I saw her in my bedroom closet. She forgot how she got in, and panicked; she tried to go out through the glass window. Eventually I scared her to the living room, and I opened the door to the balcony; I trust that she flew out, as I haven't seen her in here anymore. She did leave a small egg on my windowsill, which I didn't notice until lately. I believe that it is not going to hatch, as she hasn't been on it, and it hasn't hatched yet. She probably panic dropped it there. They are, by far, the most successful bird in the world, more so even than the Rock Dove (Pigeon). Aarre Peltomaa of Mississauga, Ontario p.s. My body was born in Balham, Wandsworth Borough, London, England. I hope that I'm not an invasive species here! I haven't reproduced yet, so probably not !!😆🙃

    I get Killdeer on my sites every year. They are a truly amazing creature. They will put their life in danger. They are smart enough to know that the predator is going to chase them when they make a lot of noise and layover under side and wiggle one wing up in the air making it look like they’re injured. The offspring Are so tiny and run around following the parents as they teach him to eat and feed themselves. Their nest blends in so well with the surroundings. They usually pick rocky areas that match the Rocky looking eggs, pretty cool creature. The noise it makes is a distressed call, even though they’re faking it. The animals don’t know and will always go towards it if they can’t be seen by other animals and blending in to the surroundings.

    Did you use the regular soap and water intentionally to show the slight difference between it and the baking soda’s reaction lessening ability? It would’ve been interesting to see a Dawn condition, but you only have so much space on your legs lol Why do you think the bar soap and water was more effective for less intense itch than the baking soda? I noticed that poison ivy in its very early stages with no leaves or apparent petioles at the top is really hard to identify. Eventually it grows 3 alternating petioles at the top. I was consistently pulling short rachis that were poking out of the ground in the late winter because I didn’t want my dogs walking into them. Only 3-4 were suspicious, which I think came out less easily than the others.

    Im watching this cause like others in the comments Im experiencing a case for myself. Was doing a bunch of yard work cutting down a bunch of long branches that seemed all dead weed or trash tree (yes I hear poison ivy is active even if it hasnt started growing for the season) anyways I cut a bunch of this for an hour or so it might not have been all poison ivy but there had to be at least some in there. after I was done I took a shower and then somewhere along the lines did a load of laundry. It wasnt until 24/30 hrs later did I realize that I had poison ivy. Im doing ok with it. one spot is particularly red but doing my best to not scratch it. I did end up scratching in the night last night like you did (super annoying cause I felt like it was already doing better after 5 days and set me back.) You didnt cover any remedies in your video other than treating itching. Im seeing that I should have washed immediately like I did, but to scrub and scrub alot and use dawn soap to get the oil off but at that time it may have been too long already. Do you know if I contaminated all my clothes when I did my wash. I did a normal load cause I didnt know about the poison ivy at the time, so warm or cold water. I hear it should have been hot water. Thinking I may wash down my washing machine and dryer and wash alllll my clothes again with hot water to make sure theres no oils in my clothes. I fear that i may have locked any oils in if I washed and then dried them. If you have any advice would love to hear it. Also you may not even see this since the video is older, but I appreciate your help with all the info you gave. sorry for the long post just trying to get my life back haha

    I have found a cheap, easy, DIY solution for when you've already been exposed and have started to react to the PI oil. Whenever I realize I've got a PI rash coming on, I start drinking beet juice. Trust me, as weird as it is, I wouldn't do it if it didn't work, and this remedy has been working for me and my family for three years. If we are paying attention and catch it early enough, sometimes the blisters don't even form. You can drink beet juice from the canned grocery store beets, or make your own fermented beet kvass. Either works. Hope this helps anyone who has already got the poison ivy reaction started.
