When winter’s cold arrives, wildlife can’t turn up the thermostat or throw an extra log into the wood stove.
So far this winter, we haven’t had it too harsh in the way of cold temperatures. However, when that cold weather arrives, animals and humans share a common trait - staying warm is a high priority. Migration and hibernation are two well-known ways some wildlife species deal with winter’s cold. However, as evidenced by the abundance of birds and animals that flit, fly and scurry across the landscape throughout winter, some animals have other ways of coping with cold temperatures.
