The squirrels have a spring in their step these days, the geese are spending a little more time on the wing, and the deer dissolve into the backdrop of the browning cornfields like a magic trick.

Autumn is right around the corner, and that makes winter just a short stretch down the road. As a child I used to wonder how these critters could figure it all out. As a biology student in college, I spent a lot of time reading scientific theory on just what triggers the hoarding of nuts, the flocking of birds and the seasonally-inspired shyness of their larger neighbors in the woods. The tilt of the earth's axis, the slant of sunlight as it comes over the...
