Well, it was inevitable.  Finally, a tick or a nymph got by me, bit me and 
I got the "classic" - sort of - bull's eye rash of a tick bite w/Lyme 
Disease.
If you don't know what I'm talking about - do a Google Search 
under "images" of Lyme Disease Tick Bite and you'll see what I mean.  It 
doesn't always look like a bull's eye, but a bite within a rash is close 
enough.

I might have otherwise ignored the strange bite not finding a tick on me, 
except for two co-workers who have had the same bite mark on them in the 
last month and showed me the bite.

Just beware of any welt or rash over 5 cm and get it checked out.  I'm 
lucky as I found it and figured it out.

Enjoy your atlasing!  I got Fledgling Bluebirds and Fledgling Kingbirds 
today in Riverdale Park, PG Co. MD.
