Hitching A Ride

It was so sad to see all the ticks on this poor deer in Assateague on Monday. Gave me the willies and a big warning to check for ticks after my visit. Thankfully I had none but I didn't venture into the bush.

Oh my word! The detail to your photo is fabulous but that poor deer.

Oh deer! Ticks can be fatal!

[Betsey]

Oh, how awful. I saw a wren today with one under her beak.

[Jane Pittenger]

Ouch. I found one on me this afternoon but not so many thankfully

Beautiful photo, but distressing to see the ticks.

Must be so uncomfortable, glad you were tick free

[Issi Bannerman]
