Just came across something I wanted to share, since birders do get into ticky places.  Most Lyme disease comes from the bite of the nymph stage, and they are most active in June.  Never read this before--I'd wondered when the greatest risk was.  I think more and better info is getting onto the net, and today when I searched "tick bites" this info came up right away.  (I was checking out a bump I got after some gardening yesterday--prob. not a tick, but I'm glad I took a new look at the info that's now available.
