Birds cope with cold as robins face unusual winter
The Gazette reports unseasonably warm weather keeps robins north in January with flocks up to 2,000 at Ledges State Park. DNA experts say birds survive cold if food and shelter persist, though snow threatens pheasants and other species by hiding food and reducing camouflage. Turkeys may fare better, with experts noting their size and eyesight aid survival unless and until deep, prolonged snow overwhelms habitat.
