It's been cold for weeks now. Today -32C, wind. Haven't seen (or heard) much evidence of animal life, though I did see what looked like squirrel tracks coming off a tree down at the Red. I suspect they are new since we had a blizzard yesterday, and much of the path I was on had been partly filled in. Older tracks would not be seen. I don't know where the birds and smaller mammals go during this cold. Some of the mammals semi-hibernate, but the winter birds stick around. They would need to eat to maintain their heat. Maybe it's more efficient to hunker down for a day or two than to try to forage for food. They must have some fat stores...
Field mouse of some sort, tracks and burrows into the snow.
