We are planning on going birding on Saturday so hopefully we will get some new birds then.Sara Edenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536804742236054565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103908263626245740.post-5345699587030127152012-06-14T12:31:09.400-07:002012-06-14T12:31:09.400-07:00I've got a tick phobia and am just so creeped ...I've got a tick phobia and am just so creeped out when we walk in tall grasses on our birding trips. I try to act mature about it in front of others, but that sure takes some doing. As far as I know, I've never gotten a tick, but my children have gotten plenty. If a tick has to be removed from a child just before bed, I can hardly sleep with the itchies I feel for the next couple hours. <br /><br />I hope you get some good birds soon. <br />I am so glad you saw a Bobolink! They are a favorite. Sadly, they've been silent for a week or more, so either lost their eggs from a raccoon or something, or the feral cats did the unthinkable. When I mentioned that possibility to my husband, he sounded upset enough to do something. He suffers from terrible grass pollen allergies and was willing to live with the tall grasses this year so they had a place to nest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
