Where is Cherry Hill Beach, in Nova Scotia.

Just a note about black-legged ticks and their seasonality:

Down here in the banana belt, my three or four encounters with the =
little buggers were all in or near early November.

We need a vaccine.

Hi Jim,
=20
Did she say what part of Cherry Hill Beach? I=E2=80=99ve thoroughly =
birded CHB several times this year and I have never gotten a tick there. =
But I don=E2=80=99t go in the high grass, at least not until late fall, =
so I suspect that must be where she got them?
=20
That is sad news about the gannets; I hope a cause and solution is =
found. Does NSBS have any funds for an investigator!

Subject: [NatureNS] Black-legged Tick
=20
Just a heads up on a high concentration of black-legged ticks at Cherry =
Hill Beach. A relative who does recuse work on wildlife was loaded with =
probably 40-50 black-legged ticks when she did a gannet rescue. She =
ended up with lymes disease and had very severe symptoms before =
treatment. =20
=20
She wonders why there are so many gannet calls this year and why most of =
them 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 =
was determined to have an old gun shot wound, so likely died due to lead =
poisoning. =20
=20
Sincerely,
=20
