BATS, IN OUR BELFRIES
This. -is the time .tif year when mam-
mal experts at the Royal (nitario
Museum expect to hear outcries from
citizens of the Province that they.have
encountered bats, in their attics' or
cellars. The species they find on cap-
ture is the Big Brown bat, which used
to hibernate in caves, but in our cities
may pick olf almost any dark and
sheltered spot.' Then the proverbial
January thaw' may warm him up a bit,
and stir him to aqivity. Most other
species of Canadiau bats move to
warmer climates in the U.S.A. during
winter.
Such a mild spell may bring .6ut
other mammals as well, the groundhog,
the chipmunk or the skunk. The
latter's wavering track across the snow
is kequently seen in January: -
When no -thaws soften -winter's Icy
blasts, the deer have a particularly
hard time cf it. They find deep snow
difficult to navigate, andin their search
for food they are forced to confine
themselves to small areas which they
beat *down into deep paths. This prac-
tice gave rise to the term deer "yard-
ing." .
The black or grey squirrel is* ,un-
troubled by cold and snow, for now is
the time when he can..,literallv neap
the fruits of hiS saintlier and fall in-
dustry. Many of his nuts he 'buried
singly, but he can find -them, even under
three or four feet of snow—probably by
scent. ,•
