Abstract
During the summer of 1974, immature Gulf Coast tick infestation levels were monitored on adult meadowlarks in Oklahoma and observations were made on the influence of tick parasitism on blood composition and weights of the birds. The highest tick infestations occurred from late June through August. Although blood parameters, except packed cell volume, and weights of the birds were found significantly different over the summer, no correlations existed between any of these parameters and tick infestation.
