How surprised I was to see not only the regular feeder birds early this
afternoon but a small flock of cedar waxwings checking out the red mulberry
trees. I hope they return when they have fruit! And interesting to me to
note that a dead red winged blackbird that I discovered on the ground near my
neighbor's window had 4 engorged ticks on its head. (Under its eye, and
along the beak on both sides.) I have never seen this before and am wondering
if this is more common than I realized? Has anyone ever seen a bird with
ticks on it? I wonder if it was killed by the ticks or crashing into their
window.
