Are these descriptions referring to the black-legged tick or to ticks gener=
ally?

Last May,
I found one on myself while out fly-fishing during the mayfly hatch on May1=
8th near Spry Harbour, up the Eastern Shore. It is very near Sheet Harbour,=
a couple of kms south.
First one I'd ever seen there in 20 years of fishing at this particular lak=
e. I was quite surprised.

Go away cold weather! We have had enough!

Subject: [NatureNS] Ticks
All,
Just curious if others have been finding less or more ticks so far this spr=
ing. I just arrived back at my place in Round Hill a week ago Monday. So =
far, I have only found one tick on myself and one on one of my dogs. Yeste=
rday, I spent about 4 hours clearing brush, rose and berry canes to make a =
new path down to the river. The dogs were both with me while I worked on t=
he hillside. Normally, all of us probably would have been loaded with tick=
s by the end of the afternoon, but so far, I have not found any (knock on w=
ood). Is anyone else finding the same paucity of ticks? By the way, last =
summer, after a few ticks found on the dogs and myself in April and May, I =
did not find any more ticks on us during the rest of the season. This was =
very different than previous years when I was finding them even into the au=
tumn.
