Fall skies are filled with geese plowing V’s on their southward migrations. At the same time dozens of less noticeable wildlife are on the move seeking warmer temperatures and better food to carry through the winter. However, not all wildlife moves when a Wisconsin winter is imminent.
There are a wide array of birds and mammals that hunker down for the winter and make the best of the cold season. Blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers are just some of our hardy birds that stay local. Likewise, most mammals add a layer of fat and some extra fur to ride out the chill.
Sometimes it’s easy to look out the window and wonder why highly mobile wild creatures would stay around for a tough Wisconsin winter. However, this is a great place to live. And…there are many dangers associated with migration. Travelling through unfamiliar terrain can lead to accidents, running into predators, physical exhaustion, and starvation.
The reasons for staying local for winter are like the reasons to choose Horicon Bank as your local choice for banking.
