40 - Q : Which species may have been the hardest hit by the ice storm?

A : First, the species that probably were the hardest hit are those that live in the forest canopy, especially in the treetops, as well as species that cannot go without food for long periods. The time when the ice covered everything was probable long enough to severely limit access to local food. Small winter birds whose high metabolism requires frequent feeding probably had some losses. Despite this, the first observations made by officials from the Ministry of the Environment and Wildlife indicate that the repercussions will be limited.
