Chapter 383 Snow Owl and Kerr Snow Mountain
Heavy snow not only causes people but also makes the animals even more unlucky.
The cold wave coming to the Arctic this year is more than 20 days earlier than before, and they have not had time to prepare.
The groundhogs came to the vegetable plantation last night to seek shelter.
There was snow everywhere. Their caves were shaken when the meteorite fell a few days ago, and they were just having fun and didn't dig again.
Now more than 20 groundhogs of all sizes in a family are standing under the eaves to hide from the snow, and their faces are trembling with fat.
Seeing that the black-nosed sheep could enter the greenhouse, there was a little envy in his resentful little eyes. He noticed that Han Xuan waved to them, his eyes shining, and he ran in quickly.
Under the eaves.
A snake froze into a popsicle, with bright colors. Most of the snakes in Montana are poisonous. Those that are not poisonous have long been eaten up by animals such as bears and eagles.
Anyone who has seen farmers and snakes knows that you must not be sympathetic to this animal, and you may be sure to bite you.
Han Xuan was born with resistance to snakes, so he naturally would not meddle in other people's business. When an employee saw it, he stepped on his feet. The snake more than two meters long made a cracking sound like ice, and he could not die anymore.
There are bulging in the snow piles, and snow is constantly being pushed out.
A hare emerged from her head and took a quick breath. The entrance to the cave was sealed by snow, and there was no oxygen underground.
As soon as he ran out and walked around, looking for food, the black and white bird about half a meter long fell rapidly and grabbed it and flew away.
Han Xuan saw it clearly. It was a snowy owl, an owl that could come out to move during the day and at night.
Inhabiting cold areas of the Arctic and Siberia in summer, snowy owls have a lot of hair and are very afraid of heat. They can only be seen in Montana during the late autumn to early spring. They have seen them several times before, and are a species of precious birds.
The hare kept stirring, perhaps because of the sufficient food on the pasture, which caused it to grow fat. The snowy owl continued to drop in height after flying and hit a tree.
The hare took the opportunity to escape, and quickly dug a hole in all limbs and drilled in.
It once again proves the saying that cute things have emerged since ancient times. The snowy owl shook her head and stabilized her body, and ran a few steps after landing. She stood in front of the hole dug by the rabbit and looked around.
It looks very funny, with two thick and short legs instantly classified it from a raptor to a funny one.
It found that Han Xuan, the guy who attracted him, flapped his wings and showed a clear smile on his pure white round face. His yellow eyes narrowed into lines and could hardly see clearly.
The snowy owl looked down into the hole and found that the rabbit was gone. She walked away with a step.
Hares only account for a very small part of their recipes, because they are more difficult to catch, and lemmings are the main ones.
The snowy owl can eat 1,600 lemmings a year, but it is snowing now, and those cute mice don't come out to move, so they hit the head of the hare. As for the groundhogs who are frightened and look around, there is too much oil and it is not delicious.
There are employees in the vegetable plantation who like to go mountaineering. They found a few pairs of snow boots with steel nails from them. There is no size suitable for Han Xuan. The old method is to tie it under the shoes with perforations on wooden boards and try it on snow that is more than one meter thick. It is not bad.
Find the direction and head to the west.
Walking in the snow is more physically exhausting than when on the flat ground. Han Xuan was panting after only 100 meters long. The heater he spit out blurred the goggles, took them off and wiped them, and followed his father and the others.
Thinking that Obama and Snoopy would have grown up, they would just ride on a sled and pull themselves. It would probably be fine next year.
Thinking about what era it was, why did you use dog sleds and say to your father: "Go home to buy some snowmobile. It's too inconvenient to travel in this weather."
"Well, I'll send you here in a few days, God. I'm so tired."
"Boss, do you believe in God, too?" George smiled.
"I don't believe it, it's fun to talk about, it's easier."
“…”
The white snowfield is dazzling.
Jason and George did not wear goggles, and their eyes turned red after watching for a long time. If this continues, they will develop snow blindness.
I found a wooden stake exposed outside the snow, wrapped some marking strips on it, cut it down and stabbed two small holes with a knife, and tied them to my eyes.
It was almost two kilometers away from the resort. After an agreement, I didn't call Lewis back an hour and a half, so the other party would send someone to look for it. So Jason was relieved that they came out. This hiking was considered a winter leisure activity.
But the father and son were both disabled and had to rest for a few minutes after walking for two or three hundred meters. Now they didn't feel cold at all.
The sky is snowing, and there are footprints left by field mice and hares on the ground. You can also see big footprints, densely packed.
Han Xuan looked around, straightened his hat, and said, "The snow is faster than the railings around the ranch. Some animals have run in. It seems like a wolf is left behind."
My father grabbed the colorful pheasant with his head buried in the snow. This was a hen, and the color was far less beautiful than the one in the pasture.
He smiled and said, "There is no shortage of food at present. Many animals have been frozen to death. Wolves are so smart that they will not have to work hard to attack us.
Besides, I still have a gun, I can hit them last year and this year.”
"Come on, I'm really worried about your skills. It's better to save some bullets for Jason and George when I encounter them."
After Han Xuan finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.
My father was going to take the colorful pheasant as a spoil, but this thing was at least one kilogram, which was too physically exhausting. I thought about it and lost it, so I followed up.
The snowy owl in the air immediately descended and ran towards the pheasant.
"My marksmanship is not as bad as you said!"
“There is indeed…”
He stumbled all the way, stepped into the snow, pulled out and continued walking. Han's father pointed to the northwest and said, "Someone spent tens of thousands of dollars specifically to climb the snowy mountains in Flathead. It was thankless and an avalanche ended.
I have been here for thirteen years and seven people died. It’s so idle. I’m so idle. What’s so fun about this.”
"They are trying to challenge extreme sports. If no one comes to play, why do you do when you open a resort? In fact, our snow mountain resort can also... arrange people to go to Dunker Snow Mountain."
Han Xuan said intermittently, his chest undulating and he held a wooden stick in his hand to support himself.
"Before going up, circle around it with a helicopter, shaking the soft snow can avoid the hidden danger of avalanches.
In the past, they had to go to Flathead Town for rest and rest. It was much closer to the Snow Mountain Ranch. We just had to set up a tent at the foot of the mountain and serve as a base camp. We asked the tour guide to take them up there.
It doesn’t cost much, and there are many cowboys in the ranch that go up the Kerr Snow Mountain every year and are very familiar with the roads.”
"This business can be done! Just pay a sum of money to the Parks Administration, and there will be more projects to attract tourists.
It is actually not that dangerous if there is no avalanche. I will find some professionals to help me with it later, and I also need to contact the travel company. I will be able to ski recently.
No, I can't breathe after resting."
My father was lying in the snow, and immediately sat up when he felt the cold. Lin Hai from Flathead appeared in front of him, and said helplessly: "Why is it still so far?"
Jason looked back at the way he came, smiled bitterly, "We only walked more than 400 meters, and there are still two kilometers left" (To be continued.)
