I know that ticks are bad on Fort Chaffee but this poor bird is sure having a time with them.

I’ve never even though about ticks being such a problem on birds, especially not in January.

I never seen anything like it myself. I spotted that bird on Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas.
I watched the bird for awhile and it seemed to be healthy other than the ticks. I think he needs to allow another bird to pick them off.

Thanks for the comment.
