2/5/2021 0 Comments TunnelsIt has finally snowed and the library garden and grounds are completely buried. Snow is always a great thing to see, it provides entertainment for kids and for animals (have you seen the pandas sledding), but it can make things a little difficult to get around and not just for people. Birds and bigger animals like rabbits, foxes, deer have it a little easier, the taller you are the easier to walk though a foot of snow, and the lighter you are its easier to walk on top, but what about those little animals, those not light enough to walk on top but too small to see or bound over drifts how do they get around - well its quite easy, they tunnel. Here at the library we have the entrance/exits to two tunnels around our bird feeders. As you can see below whoever made these tunnels wasn't messing around, they new exactly where the food or the path to the food was and got busy building an access to it. Can you just imagine what it must be like to use these tunnels to get around? Or can you imagine just how many there could possibly be, because from the top of the snow you can't even tell that the tunnel is there. We never would have know if hadn't seen these openings. Just imagine a whole maze under your snowboots!
