Sighting an eagle always a thrill
Charleston Post Courier (subscription) – Feb 10, 2008
“My mother was sitting in our sunroom and called to me about the large bird in the tree. Well needless to say I was very excited and happy to report that the large bird was a bald eagle. “After about an hour another bird appeared and the two perched in different trees for about an hour. ne flew off and the other one moved to the better perch. The eagle caught fish in the pond several times flew away and came back. I alerted my neighbors to the ’show’ and they too enjoyed the afternoon. The neighbor across the street reported that she had seen eagles soaring over the trees behind her house last week… ‘ “More on hawksRicky G. Martin of West Ashley had some thoughts to add about last Sunday’s Almanac in which several readers theorized that hawks might be responsible for the declining number of squirrels as well as some doves and other birds in parts of the Lowcountry. Ricky writes “My wife and I raise white homing pigeons to use for weddings and special occasions. Within the last two years we have lost 40 pigeons to the hawks. It is quite a sickening sight to see a hawk attack on these beautiful and innocent birds. It is also extremely frustrating with the fact that you cannot do anything about the hawks. The pigeons have to be let out of their loft in order to train them to return.

At least three dead crows were also found in Dhaka University area. Indian laboratories may soon start testing samples from Bangladesh to identify the H5N1 avian influenza virus. India is planning to ask the Bangladesh government crippled by a severe bird flu outbreak to send ground samples to the laboratories there for rapid testing and genetic sequencing. Syed Ataur Rahman Secretary of Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock said that samples are being sent all the way to the IE Reference Laboratory for Avian Influenza in Weybridge in UK for testing. “Bangladesh does not have its own facility to genetically sequence virus strains. That’s why samples are being continuously sent to Thailand and UK” he said. India has world-class bio-security level (BSL) III and IV laboratories like the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory (HSADL) in Bhopal and National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune… That’s why samples are being continuously sent to Thailand and UK” he said.

Meanwhile Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) has set up a control room in the DCC on Friday to receive any information on the outbreak of bird-flu and called for the removal and disposal of the dead chicken duck pigeon or crows found in the city area. An emergency review meeting of the DCC yesterday took the decision for setting up of the control room with telephone numbers 9556014 and 9004734. Veterinary officer of the DCC Dr Azmat Ali will be in charge of the control room. Dr Azmat said “The meeting decided to provide special drum and container in 50 kitchen markets in the capital city to dump the dead fowls and leftovers of the poultry birds and carry the wastes in special container to Matuail landfill to bury. The meeting discussed the programmes jointly taken by the DCC and Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock in the city to control the outbreak of the bird-flu.

Reportedly about five lakh chickens ducks and pigeons from 179 poultry farms under 37 districts have been culled since March 2007. Culling of birds in farms infected or suspected to be infected with avian influenza was urgent to check the disease from assuming dangerous proportions and to prevent human infections. As a result many farms have sustained huge financial loss.

Am I a pigeon or a dove? Am I a pear a (stick of) rhubarb or a strawberry? Above all what is my ‘to-die-for’ factor? h gawd. I have no idea of the answers to any of these questions. I would like to be a dove obviously all peaceful and cooing rather than some fat and probably mutant pigeon waddling anonymously through the London litter – but really it’s not for me to say what is actually the case. I’d also like to be a stick of rhubarb thin and rosy rather than a pear with a great big swollen bottom. However given that it is January and I’ve lately become obsessed with Yeo Valley frozen strawberry yoghurt (try it! it’s only four per cent fat so you can eat it in really vast quantities) I fear that pear it is.
