Hi John

We have been getting Black-legged ticks year round..  The adults are active once temperatures get above 4 C..  (that applies to local scale temps as well as broader air temperature regimes) They start "questing" at that temp... haven't seen firm data on activity of Dog/Wood ticks yet

Would love to get the samples (or at least images) of these early ones.

Just removed a tick from our Lab. That’s the third one this year.  Should have kept a better record, but the first one came off two to four weeks ago.

They were all the big guys, but it’s a long while to peak tick season.  We live in old field country south of Yarmouth, and the dog being 12 years old, he doesn’t explore too far  from home.

Does anyone else find/ Has anyone else found  late winter-early spring ticks on their doggies?
