Yes, sticktight flea, Echidnophaga gallinacea (Westwood) (Pulicidae) This is one of the smallest fleas. The females are 1 to 1.5 mm long, and the males are less than 1 mm. Sticktight fleas are most abundant in the southern states. They infest wild birds, some of which, such as Brewer's blackbird, house sparrow, and bobwhite quail, may be expected to be effective dispersal agents (Stewart, 1932). Nevertheless, sticktight fleas are said to be rare in the Northwest, where these birds are plentiful. (see link below). Also, mites (ugh).
