#Birds are everywhere in the pages of #ASandCountyAlmanac. Is there one that reflects your personality? 🐦‍⬛

Are you opportunistic like the chickadee, or "temperamental" like the woodcock? Do you live vicariously through others' drama, like the thick-billed parrot?

All of us at the Aldo Leopold Foundation wish you a happy holiday season! May this time of year be filled with peace, love, and wild things. ❄️

Have you ever spotted river otter trails? 🦦 Their signature "slides" mark where otters bound and glide over the snow on their bellies. Look for five-toed prints and long troughs heading to water! 🐾🛝

As the sunlight begins to dim, black bears are finding their ways to their dens. 🐻

During the late summer and early fall, black bears eat up to 20,000 calories per day to prepare for a long slumber, packing on fat that fuels their bodies through the winter.
