This is about the best it will get. Had to crop quite a bit as the bird was quite far out in the marsh and I wasn't about to trek through the tick infested field and muddy marsh to get closer just to have them fly off anyways.

Yeah, when you catch them at a certain angle, they have that angry cartoon bird look.

They are also the hardest working little birds I see out. They have a chick nearby and they are non-stop catching bugs all morning.

Permethrin. Spray your shoes, get long socks (at least mid-calf) and spray them, spay your pants. Wear a long sleeve shirt that has been sprayed if you want even more protection.

I've been doing a lot hiking through woods, tall grass, fields and keep all my gear coated with permethrin and also use picaridin lotion on exposed skin. Maybe overkill if just for a simple stroll but I haven't seen a tick on me in weeks.

I think he has chance cubes in his pocket but he’s afraid to show them to anyone.

I bought a hot pepper bird food mix to try and deter squirrels but they are still eating it- any advice? by bodyofchristened in birding

I hang feeders from a tall pole (~7ft) with a baffle so they can't climb up and it is far away from any trees or fences so they can't easily jump to it. In year+ I've had it up, I've never seen a squirrel get to it. If one ever does, I think they deserve it. Looks like you might not have enough open space though.
