Winter adaptations Help wildlife endure Central New York snows
Bevier Lake Nature Center naturalist Greg Smith explains how animals such as red and gray squirrels, woodchucks, rabbits, mice, and owls survive winter. Squirrels cache cones, woodchucks hibernate, mice tunnel under snow for food, owls hunt at night, and deer yard up under heavy snows. A winter wildlife program titled Snowshoeing Search for Wildlife Signs is offered February 9, with additional hikes on weekends.

The sea’s decline threatens sturgeon for black caviar exports and follows prior large water projects. The move marks a second major Soviet water transfer in 18 months, with irrigation already draining the Aral Sea.
