Animals become active in spring—arising from winter sleep, migrating, breeding—because, with the warmth, plants grow and food becomes more abundant. Ground squirrels, such as chipmunks, start scurrying around. Bears, in turn, start feeding on ground squirrels.
Forest wildflowers push shoots above ground in spring, taking advantage of the sunlight they receive before trees grow leaves and shade them. Even in prairies, some smaller plants flower quickly in spring before taller grasses block out the sun. The growth of plants provides food and nesting material for many species that themselves provide food for predators. In spring, insects crawl from hiding places or take to the wing, providing food for nesting birds. Spring is the season when nature stretches unused muscles and gets back to the work of producing the next generation.
