A Dark-eyed Junco and a Blue Jay we banded this week at Hilton Pond
Center for Piedmont Natural History had something in common: each had
a tick attached near its eye.
For photos of these ectoparsites and a discussion of their impact on
birds, visit the 8-14 December 2002 installment of "This Week at
Hilton Pond" by clicking on

As always, there's a list of the week's banded birds--plus a whole
slew of recaptures--and a mug shot of one of our favorites: the
Brown-headed Nuthatch.
