Winter weather affects birds, too (interesting)

http://www.heraldcourier.com/community/winter-weather-affects-birds-too/article_322a861e-d9cd-11e7-9061-bf0fcb71edf3.html


Winter weather with its snow and ice can often have a major impact on birds. For instance, if inclement weather forces a common loon to land on a small body of water, such as a pond, the bird may not be able to take flight again. Loons need to run for a long distance over the water's surface in order to take flight.
