I can remember a few years back I was doing a breeding bird survey in 
southwestern Minnesota with Steve Weston and we made a game out of counting how 
many ticks we each had pulled off of ourselves and each other.

Just a note of caution for all you fellow birders.  This is the season when
ticks are most active.  Even after it freezes, if it goes above freezing
during the day, the ticks will be foraging for a blood meal.  Only after

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Deer ticks

2015-10-22 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 


Their purpose is to control human beings by spreading the microbes that harm 
them! I take it back, actually it is the disease spreading spirochetes that 
control the ticks. Probably it is not good for the ticks too when the 
spirochetes are growing in them as they will be demanding nutrition from the 
ticks. So don't blame the poor ticks. They are as helpless as we are!.

A couple of years ago when we had that mild winter, I got a tick on the

[cayugabirds-l] Deer ticks

Just a heads up. I know I am attracted to ticks, or the other way around, but 
they are still with us. I discovered one on me after a walk at Roy Park 
Preserve last evening.
Good birding,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Deer ticks

2015-10-22 Thread Glenn Wilson 
Last night I walked the Marsh Trail at Binghamton University and there was a 
student dragging a 30 inch square white cloth on the ground. I inquired. She 
was collecting tics - and had collected about 10. As the cloth is dragged 
across the ground, they grab on. She flips the cloth over and there they were.
