But no matter what the weather, if you’ve walked outside, did it seem as if birds and other wildlife are scarce – even more so than usual? Whatever has been going on, and whatever is to come this winter, now is a good time to look ahead to sights and sounds of nature in 2020 by taking our annual Nature Notes quiz about the local delights of nature we’ve featured in the past year.
