They’re Baa-ack (NSFW/ticks)

Dateline: 1 April 2023

It’s the yearly PSA re. everyone’s least favorite cling-on, the tick. With spring, they’re back at Presque Isle State Park. (BirdingPI.com has catalogued at least four different species of tick at the park.) Be on the lookout, especially after passing through brush or long grass; back at home = clothes in the laundry + self-inspection.

Following recorded today after a pleasant time on the Pine Tree Trail. Not an April Fool’s joke.

Species: who cares? They’re all awful
