I love birds as you all know. Birding comes with some risks such as encounters with bears, snakes, coyotes, and alligators. I think the biggest risk is ticks. They can carry SO many diseases. Over 40% of ticks in the northeast carry Lyme Disease now and many carry Babesia. Alpha Girl is also on the rise. Other areas of the country deal with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and more.

Most infected ticks carry more than one disease. Lyme Disease is NOT fun and is often misdiagnosed and treated incorrectly. I shared a couple of recent videos from Stony Brook Wetlands in Ludlow, Mass. I HAD on long pants and long sleeves. I sprayed myself with bug spray. I had at least 8 ticks on me anyway after 3 hours. My friend Lori and I rolled them off me and I somehow had more. One tick survived being washed and dried.

Please be careful. Take precautions and then check and double check. Have someone else check too. My husband pulled a tick out of my back about 10 days ago. I know the symptoms and started meds right away. If you find a tick attached, you can send it to UMASS to test. Most people don’t see the ticks or get the famous bullseye rash. Blood tests are useless before your body develops antibodies and by then, it’s too late. Lyme has already started creating havoc by then. Prevention is your best weapon!

Husband, we are not the only ones!

We buy the special seed. We buy the special tube. They know exactly what they're doing to us.

I was birding Stonybrook Wetlands in Ludlow and came across this group of Wood Thrushes making beautiful music! I did get some great shots of these musicians and will post them to my site. Enjoy the song!

Keep your hummingbird babies safe! Clean feeders and replace often on hot days. Don’t use dyes or too much sugar. It could damage their kidneys. Make sure to have an ant moat also. ❤️

My bird is a hummingbird! 😍😍😍
