<br/>> Hi Dave
<br/>>
<br/>> Have responded to several posters, but thought I would solicit from the larger group.
<br/>>
<br/>> We are still tracking the distribution and spread of ticks in the province, and would appreciate receiving specimens, or, at the least images, with locality data.
<br/>>
<br/>> The four most common species, based on reports, in order of occurrence (reporting) are Wood/Dog Ticks, Black-legged Ticks, Groundhog Ticks and Rabbit Ticks. There are an additional 10 species recoded here, based on specimens, but the remaining ones appear uncommon.
<br/>>
<br/>> So if anyone encounters ticks (especially in novel areas), would appreciate hearing about them .. Reports from existing areas are also welcome.

<br/>> Are these descriptions referring to the black-legged tick or to ticks generally?

<br/>> Last May,
<br/>>
<br/>> I found one on myself while out fly-fishing during the mayfly hatch on May18th near Spry Harbour, up the Eastern Shore. It is very near Sheet Harbour, a couple of kms south.
<br/>>
<br/>> First one I'd ever seen there in 20 years of fishing at this particular lake. I was quite surprised.

<br/>> It looks like they have finally spread to the Springhill, Cumberland County area. A friend who spends a lot of her time in the woods got her first tick ever this Spring.
<br/>> I am an avid fisherman and I have yet to get one in this area but I know it is just a matter of time.

<br/>> Go away cold weather! We have had enough!

<br/>> As for birds, we saw out first spotted sandpiper on River Philip this week!!

<br/>>
<br/>> All,
<br/>>
<br/>> Just curious if others have been finding less or more ticks so far this spring. 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. Yesterday, 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 the hillside. Normally, all of us probably would have been loaded with ticks by the end of the afternoon, but so far, I have not found any (knock on wood). 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 autumn.
