I'm curious. Do you folks spray with deet? I've been using picaridin this
summer and last, but I haven't gotten any ticks on me yet. Luck?

Western Lunenburg County, a bit to the east of Vogler's Cove.
I had no trouble googling it!

Where is Cherry Hill Beach, in Nova Scotia.
Google Earth doesn't recognize it as a place name for our Province.

Based on my observations (and dozens of BLTicks removed from various parts
of my anatomy) I'd have to say they are most common here in the Lunenburg
area in spring. Tick numbers drop off a bit in mid to late summer then there
is a second peak in the fall. Nymphs seem to become more common in late
spring and peak in the fall. But again that is based mostly on my own
encounters. They can be picked up any time including mid winter days when
the temperature gets near or above freezing.

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.

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!

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
