Hi Everyone,
Yuck. Here's a relevant birding topic due to our huge numbers of this tick species in Maryland. I had considered Lone Star Ticks to be on the more benign side as far as ticks go, but this is new to me and disconcerting:

I was bitten by several Lone Stars just this weekend. Hopefully any effects require some time attached, as sometimes cited (24+ hours?) for Lyme Disease (for which I've already been treated three times).
Good birding,
Bill
