The State Bird of Alaska

Have you heard that the state bird of Alaska is the mosquito which is the nasty insect that flies around, looking for a victim to be found. Its blood-thirsty bite is similar to a miniature vampire who with teeth of precision bites and draws swooping down for its cause. The rule of thumb is to cover up head to toe and not wear any perfume or after-shave lotion or you will be an object of its devotion. When traveling in the great outdoors of Alaska carry a container of insect repellent, preferably the dependable Deet, making sure you spray your feet. The mosquito of the great North doesn't discriminate who it will attack, redhead, blonde, gray, brown or black heads of hair for it has a perpetual thirst because its mighty tanks never burst.
