Migrate, Hibernate, Adapt

• A gray squirrel bounds along, a pale yellow oblong sphere held in its mouth. It has found a black walnut and is looking for a place to cache it for winter.
• Overhead the honking of Canada geese fills the sky. Another flock flies above in classic “V” formation.
• Much quieter is the migration of warblers. These songbirds are heading back south to their wintering grounds which boast more abundant food.
• Little brown bats have gathered in their winter hibernating site, a cave. The temperature of their hibernacula will stay above freezing despite the frigid winds outside.

For all these animals, winter poses a challenge. Each species has its own survival strategy.

Join us to learn about strategies such as migrating, hibernating, and adapting before we take a hike to find signs of animals along our trails.

This program is designed for all ages.
