Before this is in print, readers will know whether the groundhog saw his shadow or not — whether we’ll have six more weeks of winter or an early spring! Many ridicule the idea that a groundhog coming out of his hole on the second day of February, would know whether to stay active or go back to sleep for six weeks. It’s folk lore, pure and .simple But sometimes animals show an amazing amount of wisdom beyond the ken of human understanding. Lucy was quite intrigued by the behaviour of animals as recounted by Mrs, Adam Boyd who teaches school at Brent in Algonquin Park. In ,a letter early in January to her sister, Mrs. J. E. Howard, she wrote; The two coons have 'taken up -their domicile under my lumber piles apd in my woodshed — and the bird feeders get heck. This week (yesterday in fact) I strung a thin wire from . the little evergreen tree to, a branch of the basswood and hung a feeder one-half way between — and I’ll swear they’ve been at it! The birds couldn’t have demolished that much fat ■in that little time! I’ve stopped filling that one on the side of ■the basswood trunk! I might as well spoon-feed it to them! I had put big solid chunks of beef fat in for the holidays, and the days we had our party here, they came put an the middle of the afternoon, (Usually they come sneakin’ round the corner of the porch, under the oil tank, and right past your feet — like little furtive sins, so I call .them “Sin” and “Evil”). “That afternoon they raided the feeders under the big ■spruce. Gary went put with the broom and treed them. Presently we saw one at the basswood feeder, then the other came. The first one flattened his tummy against the suet so the other couldn’t touch — then they spit, bit and clawed, all the time hanging onto the sides of the tree trunk. “They went into reverse — and up and down and over each other — but both hung on and neither got time for oven a nip of suet. They were at it for over half an hour before one gave up and climbed the tree to wait his turn. We were better entertained than with watching a moving picture! “This week Mary was talking by phone to Rosie Thomas, niece of the old couple who, run that lodge away across the lake. She said they had only one deer — Bobby — when the wolves came in close. “They always have wolves along that end — so their deer disappeared, and they were afraid he’d become a meal for the wolves. One morning recently, she and her cousin went to North' .Bay to shop, and near Kiosk they saw “Bobby”. He had known enough to put 30 miles between himself and the home wolves! “I hope my doe and fawns have sense, too, but Mary said some deer had been around here Christmas week. She had seen the tracks. I have not seen any since my return.” Black squirrels dp not like snow. One day, recently, “Mr.” .poured some hot dripping onto the floor of the large feeder. Needless to say it was chilled immediately. The birds were enjoying it. Lucy was amazed shortly afterwards to see a plump black squirrel jump from stake to stake in the garden to avoid deep snow, and up into the feeder. ‘Look!” she drew her husband’s attention. “Has he got a piece of toast?” “No”, he replied, “It’s the dripping I poured in there.” Deep snow and all, that squirrel got down out of the feeder, across through the snow to the rose arch without ■breaking the thin round cake of solid fat. He probably was able to lift it off the floor of the feeder due to the fact that “Mr.” had recently sprinkled it with fine gravel. The last Lucy saw of him, he was setting atop the rose arch holding his loot in his mouth. ' Another day the black squirrel sat up in the willow tree for a long time before coming down onto the roof of the small feeder upon which about four inches of snow had ac­ cumulated. Lucy’s spouse watched him hang onto the willow limb with his hind legs and very gingerly put this fore feet down towards the feeder, but the snow frightened him and ■he pulled up again. He did this three times but the next time he was observed, courage had overcome fear, for he was sitting on the wind vane, snitching bird seed. The red squirrel is different. This mischievous member of the species seems to enjoy the snow. And if it is too deep for him he’ll burrow through it. H. H. Ormond watched, a red squirrel one day last winter, sitting on a post surveying the landscape. With the precision of an engineer with instruments he marked thezspot. The small animal went down the post, burrowed through the deep snow and came up at the exact point 'he wished to at­ tain. Yes, sometimes it would seem, wild animals use their brains more than some human beings.
