So why are the Kingfishers now staying year-round in my streambanks instead of flying south every winter, at the same time that snowy owls are moving into my woods? Why did I find a duppy bat (southern/tropical moth) less than ten miles from my house? Why do I have both the blue (northern) and white (southern) forms of the Great Blue Heron on my property nearly every summer? Why are cold-climate animals moving south at the same time that warm-climate animals are moving north?
Maybe the answers aren’t the simple ones that the political parties want us to believe, Salgak…
