Deer leave high ground and e down from the mountains. Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds make more noise than usual and will fight about a piece of bread. Other birds sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also try to find safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds staying in trees or ing together on a wire(電線) close to a building.
