Hi Keith and all:
It would've been further out on the beach in the high dune grass. I too ha=
ve been there without picking up any ticks that I know of, but I did not wa=
de through the tall grass further out.
I do not know if any pathological work is being done on any of the gannets =
that have been picked up and died. I do know that there has been more than=
one incident where they have been shot.
Sincerely,
James

Hi Jim,
Did she say what part of Cherry Hill Beach? I=92ve thoroughly birded CHB se=
veral times this year and I have never gotten a tick there. But I don=92t g=
o in the high grass, at least not until late fall, so I suspect that must b=
e where she got them?
That is sad news about the gannets; I hope a cause and solution is found. D=
oes 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 Hil=
l Beach. A relative who does recuse work on wildlife was loaded with proba=
bly 40-50 black-legged ticks when she did a gannet rescue. She ended up wi=
th lymes disease and had very severe symptoms before treatment.
She wonders why there are so many gannet calls this year and why most of th=
em 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 wa=
s determined to have an old gun shot wound, so likely died due to lead pois=
oning.
Sincerely,
James R. Hirtle
