Spring in Winter, new season Sprinter

The winter woods are gray, leafless, trees asleep day and night.

As always, its denizens appear daily, deer nipping branches, finding birdseed below the feeder.

Rabbits, squirrels, fox, and coyote in our backyard menagerie, even an opossum under our deck.

The similarity with the winters of old ends there.

This year in February, no snow and record temperatures in the 50’s and 60’s.

Spring in Winter, Sprinter.

We humans say this weather is nice.

How will our animal counterparts respond to climate change?

Will they lose their ability to live in a winter climate changed, sometimes in the 60’s then 0?

Creatures in the warming southern seas are dying. 

How will ours do in Sprinter?
