Spring Winter

Tiervâ!

At this time of the year the sun is high in the sky in the daytime and the snow can be quite hard on the top. This means that sometimes the little animals that run on the snow are easy for hawks and owls to catch. Voles and lemmings and other small animals live under the ground where it is warmer. When the snow is hard and they can’t find holes to escape from predators. This is bad for the animals that live under the snow but good for owls and hawks which can have a lot of babies. Other animals like the bear start to wake up from their winter hibernation. The sun is melting the river that has been mostly frozen over the winter time and the swans and geese and other birds start to return from warmer countries in the south. There is lots to see and do at this time of the year. The reindeer races are held to see who has the fastest reindeer. Easter festivals take place also. The weather satrts to warm up but there is still lots of snow so it is a good time for skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing. Reindeer meat that has been hanging on the roof is also soon dry and ready!
