tick kills chipping sparrow



As a follow-up to the recent birds and ticks thread -

Yesterday, my wife found an ailing chipping sparrow sitting in the lawn at
our house.  She thought it best to leave it alone, and did.  But, an hour
or so later she noticed it was dead.

She directed me to it when I got home, and I found it had a tick on its
"cheek" nearly the size of its head.
