Animal lore aids long term weather forecasts says MSU expert
Michigan State University wildlife specialist Glenn Dudderar says animal folklore can help long term weather forecasting but warns against overreliance. He cites fur thickness, nut stores, and geese heights as indicators yet notes these reflect food and population factors, not precise long range trends. Swallow flights, insect behavior, and cricket chirps may loosely reflect upcoming changes, but do not prove supernatural prediction. Dudderar emphasizes careful observation to protect crops and aid hunting and birdwatching while avoiding false certainty.
