On a very short walk through woods behind my house, I picked up two wood
ticks and two deer ticks today. I walk this particular trail at least once
a week and have never picked up any ticks on it--or at least not that I
have seen. The two deer ticks would have gone unseen today if the two wood
ticks hadn't alerted me to the need to look more closely at little black
specs. Apparently ticks are out in force, and appropriate precautions
should be taken.

P.S. I saw no birds migrating overhead, but I did glimpse a couple of
Ruffed Grouse that flushed well before I got near them.
