Other than my arthritis acting up, animals do things completely out of character days before a front moves into the area.
ex.1
11 deer were in my backyard grazing like no tomorrow. A warm front with rain happened within 48 hours
ex.2 thousands of blackbirds covered the backyard a few days ago and
ex.3 yesterday a bald eagle dove into my pond going after fish. (Guess there's a first time for everything!)
Note: a snow storm is going to pack a wallop tonight and all day tomorrow.
Note: 2024 NY winter has been crazy warm with no ice on the pond, green grass growing, 50 degree days and intense sun light - in Jan. and Feb. no less!!! No wonder wildlife has been going nuts!!
Note: the frost that coated everything last night.
I've experienced the same thing when it comes to fish aggression. As a front approaches, fish slam lures all over the place like it's their last meal! Little fish get caught on 8" lures plus quality (size) increases.
