Can't be quantitative, but chez moi, south of Yarmouth, I see no difference from previous recent years.

Subject: [NatureNS] Ticks

All,

Just curious if others have been finding less or more ticks so far this spring.  I just arrived back at my place in Round Hill a week ago Monday.  So far, I have only found one tick on myself and one on one of my dogs.  Yesterday, I spent about 4 hours clearing brush, rose and berry canes to make a new path down to the river.  The dogs were both with me while I worked on the hillside.  Normally, all of us probably would have been loaded with ticks by the end of the afternoon, but so far, I have not found any (knock on wood).  Is anyone else finding the same paucity of ticks?  By the way, last summer, after a few ticks found on the dogs and myself in April and May, I did not find any more ticks on us during the rest of the season.  This was very different than previous years when I was finding them even into the autumn.
