Hi Tom, I was catching up on your journals and had a couple of questions for you :) 1. Why are the researchers interested in ticks? 2. I read your Q/A from Betsy about rabies in foxes, but I was wondering are they people friendly or do they keep their distance.Do they pose any threat to humans? 3. Why are researchers especially interested in the Kittywakes and Murres? Great pictures -keep them coming ! Lollie
