MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — State residents are being urged to take down bird feeders because hungry bears are beginning to emerge from winter hibernation and finding the late arrival of spring means they can't get much to eat, the Department of Fish & Wildlife said Friday.
The cold end to winter and beginning of spring also could be hard on Vermont's deer, which use up much of their fat reserves during the winter, but it could benefit moose because the winter ticks that have become a problem for many moose don't survive prolonged cold weather. Moose aren't as bothered by deep snow.
