Just a heads up on a high concentration of black-legged ticks at Cherry Hil=
l Beach.  A relative who does recuse work on wildlife was loaded with proba=
bly 40-50 black-legged ticks when she did a gannet rescue.  She ended up wi=
th lymes disease and had very severe symptoms before treatment.


She wonders why there are so many gannet calls this year and why most of th=
em are dead by the time they reach Hope For Wildlife or why they are mostly=
 dying between pick-up and transportation.

Does anyone have an explanation for this.  One recently was ex-rayed and wa=
s determined to have an old gun shot wound, so likely died due to lead pois=
oning.


Sincerely,


James R. Hirtle
