Blood-thirsty ticks on the prowl
NATURE -- People weren't the only critters motivated by unseasonably warm weather to be active outdoors in the past week.
Ticks are on the prowl, I've heard from several reports -- from anglers at Crab Creek in Lincoln County east to the hikers at the Iller Creek/Rocks of Sharon area in Spokane Valley.
Perfect timing! There's nothing like a full tick check for Valentine's Day.
