Stopped for a walk on a logging road off of the Walton Woods Road on Saturda=
y. When we got back in the car and started driving my boys yelled =E2=80=9CT=
ICK!!!=E2=80=9D I stopped to fob a large female deer tick climbing on my 8 y=
ear olds pants. First (deer tick) of the year for us. We found a dog tick in=
Bedford on one of us after a hike in early March.=20
Also interesting to note, when we pulled into the logging road and drove aro=
und the corner there was a straight stretch more than a kilometre long and r=
ight away we saw a Spruce Grouse on the road at the other end of the stretch=
. It saw us (maybe the daytime driving lights) and ran the complete kilometr=
e to us fast as it could like a dog coming for supper. While we walked up th=
e road it circled us the whole time staying with us. We walked the whole kil=
ometre plus and back to the car with it circling around. Seems like a long w=
ay to come and then follow if it was trying to distract us from a nest. That=
bird ran well more than 4 kilometres in 45 minutes.=20
Thank you,

Dear All,

In North Alton woods briefly today and longer cutting old shoots
and topping green shoots in patch of wild Blackberries. Came home with a
tick on the back of my neck. First his year. Not sure if it is deer or dog.
