I'm thinking of how there are some bad tick hotspots on the coastal parts of the eastern U.S. (like New Jersey) and maybe the birds that pass through those particular areas are the ones coming here. Also, I'm wondering about the accuracy of the info about ticks with Lyme being worse here. I believe I saw a map not long ago -- maybe on the CBC website -- showing that New Brunswick has some comparably bad Lyme hotspots. By the way -- so far, this is turning out to be quite a ticky summer around my place and I'm hearing much the same from friends around here (Annapolis Royal). Normally, the ticks seem to be less by the beginning of July. Hope that will be the case this summer.
