Focus on Nature; Skis Provide a Close -Up View By Paul Stoutenburgh In the heat of last summer Barbara and I thumbed through the Elderhostel Newsletter, which is the size of a newspaper, looking for a place that might cool us down. We found an offer for a week in New Hampshire where cross - country skiing was going to be taught along with modern European cultures and "Tracks and Tales in the Snow." It sounded good to us and for a short while helped cool us down in that stifling summer heat. Last week found us with friends in New Hampshire along with our new cross- country skis. We had never skied before and neither had our friends so we were all a bit appre- hensive. The conference center where we were staying was new with wonderful accom- modations, situated at the foothills of the White Mountain with snow all about us. To me skiing for the first time was like be- ing on skates for the first time. My world be- came very unstable. Even before I got the skis on they wouldn't stay still but had the un- canny ability to slowly slide away each time I tried to clamp the boot to the ski. Once at- tached to them, I, like the rest, was ready to conquer the world —well almost. As a mat- ter of fact, I was unable even to get off to a slight shuffle. The instructor moved from one group to another as if his skis were a part of him. It all looked so easy. I felt a little better when I looked around and found one of our group of 30 collapsed over his skis and trying to untangle himself. I soon found out just how tangled you could get if you fell in those first few hours. After a short time we switched from a shuffle to more of a stride and were a bit more relaxed. Chickadees Need to Eat a Lot A young female naturalist spoke to our group about winter habitat and the many as- pects of survival. She used the example of a chickadee and told how small birds must keep up their body heat in the cold winter months. Chickadees do not have the ability to store fat to take them through the winter as bears, caribou and others do, and so the chickadee has to replenish its heat loss with a constant intake of food. No wonder we see them so busy around our feeders, particu- larly if bad weather is moving in. To conserve body heat chickadees and other small birds and animals hole up at night to get away from the elements and of- ten cluster together. Sometimes four or five chickadees will hole up to share body heat in a tree cavity. I've often seen mice do this. they are so tightly huddled together they al- most appear as one. The grouse of the north woods also holes up on exceedingly cold nights. He usually roosts in among the thick evergreens but when the temperature drops into the single digits, the grouse will literally drive itself into a snow bank and dig below to spend the night where it is warmer. On on of our field trips the instructor took two thermometers along. One she left on top of the snow and with the other she dug down below. The one on top read 24 degrees while the one below read 32 degrees showing the Drotective qualities of snow. Each day we looked forward to listening to this enthusiastic young naturalist. Mind you there were those not especially interested in the natural world but her presentation and sparkle kept everyone's interest. One of her hiking trips took us up Tin Mountain where we looked across the valley to glistening Mt. Washington all draped in white. We saw red squirrel tracks under the spruce trees and found their middens or piles of pine cone chips left after they had extracted the seeds. We saw the straight tracks of a fox on patrol for food. At one point he had caught a small animal of some sort and the telltale scarlet blood spots on the snow gave us a true vision of the world of survival of all witlllife. We smelled the odor of fox in the air. It is a tell- tale smell that once you catch you'll never forget. Dog Tracks Not Like Fox Someone's stray dog had passed along the trail and we could see how it wandered back and forth almost in an aimless romp com- pared to the tracks of the fox who had no time for wandering or play. His deliberate straight line gave him away. Further along the trail we found a porcupine's den which was marked by the usual pile of droppings out- side the entrance and we were later to see trees where he had taken the bark for his winter's meal. Our days seemed to fly by. Two classes in the morning, some inside, some outside and then skiing in the afternoon. We had vans to carry us to various ski areas, one being Pink - ham Notch where we rendezvoused at the 137 Appalachian Mountain Club headquarters. We skied along a river and lake bed, saw signs of beaver where they'd cut young po- plar saplings for their winter cache of life - sustaining food. Beavers are active all win- ter long and although we didn't see them we knew they were nearby snug in their dens and probably well fed. It was a stimulating week. We seemed to master the fundamentals of cross - country skiing, learned a lot about European culture and added some interesting notes I'd not known about the world about us.
