Hi TN birders, I got so many email responses and I do appreciate all the replies. I had no idea a bird could get a tick. My bird seemed lethargic yesterday, but it would not let me close. I watched for it today, but did not see it, or else the tick fell off and I didn't recognize it. A big thank-you to everyone!

This is a large gray dog tick on the side of the Finch's face.

Has anyone seen something like this before? Tarcila Fox, Goodlettsville, Davidson County TN
