In the past couple days the small animals in my yard, rabbits, squirrels, and voles have been exhibiting changed behavior. The rabbits have been hiding, the squirrels have been silent and the voles have been running top speed everywhere. Top speed is a surprisingly quick 8 mph for those, and they don’t usually come out into the open.
