The natural world is never static.

As the days get shorter and colder, birds migrate south to Conservancy preserves. The leaves start to turn on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. Elk come down from the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming.

During the winter, millions of songbirds and waterfowl shelter in the warm waters of Mexico's Laguna Madre. When spring returns, it is heralded by colorful wildflowers across the prairies of Kansas.
