Just a note about black-legged ticks and their seasonality:
Down here in the banana belt, my three or four encounters with the little
buggers were all in or near early November.
We need a vaccine.

Subject: [NatureNS] RE: Black-legged Tick
Hi Jim,
Did she say what part of Cherry Hill Beach? I've thoroughly birded CHB
several times this year and I have never gotten a tick there. But I don't go
in the high grass, at least not until late fall, so I suspect that must be
where she got them?
That is sad news about the gannets; I hope a cause and solution is found.
Does NSBS have any funds for an investigator!
Keith

Subject: [NatureNS] Black-legged Tick
Just a heads up on a high concentration of black-legged ticks at Cherry Hill
Beach. A relative who does recuse work on wildlife was loaded with probably
40-50 black-legged ticks when she did a gannet rescue. She ended up with
lymes disease and had very severe symptoms before treatment.
She wonders why there are so many gannet calls this year and why most of
them 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 was
determined to have an old gun shot wound, so likely died due to lead
poisoning.
Sincerely,
James R. Hirtle
