First Lake County government building outfitted with a bird-friendly building design.

Bird-friendly modifications were added to the Lake County Central Permit Facility in Libertyville to mitigate bird strikes against glass windows. This included a dot pattern applied to the windows on the front of the facility and paracord hung four inches apart on the south side of the building. Watch the video:

Adult blacklegged aka deer ticks are out again. Now is the time for them to be roaming around leaf-littered woodlands before it freezes. In the fall, deer ticks molt into adults and seek out large mammalian hosts. To prevent illness, such as Lyme disease, follow these tips to stay safe in the outdoors!

🪳 Tuck pants into socks.
🪳 Wear EPA registered insect repellent.
🪳 Shower after coming indoors.
🪳 Tick check! Inspect your body and head after spending time outdoors. (Don't forget to check pets too.)
🪳 If you find a tick embedded in skin, use clean tweezers to pull the tick upward and out. Don't twist or jerk the tick. Clean the bite area afterwards.
