Sorry Marg, your original post didn=92t state which species, I know you =
have hordes of Dog Ticks in that area but wasn=92t aware that =
Deer/Blacklegged Ticks had become established there.

On several occasions I have taken photos of birds with what appeared to =
be a partially engorged tick attached. This obviously would give them =
the opportunity to move long distances.

Good morning, Kevin, I 'm not sure what you mean. I know the differences =
between the ticks.   Deer ticks have been here a lot longer than some =
will say. I know the local vet has more experience than I have had and =
they are  removing them 'all winter' from animals, this year . I just =
pick them off and dispatch them as quickly and thoroughly as I can.

I used to take Ticks to Milton DNR as requested in a CBC radio interview =
to have them checked so we could have it noted they were here but was =
told not to do that any more as they weren't interested.=20
I have developed a theory of sorts. I think ticks can 'migrate' for lack =
of a better word,  in large groups! On several occasions,  in quite =
different locals, I  stepped onto pavement  or bare road from a car and =
have been covered with them in a minute or two......shudder. I'm talking =
well over a hundred or more ticks.
Great morning!
