Prairie dogs bank up their holes with grass and dirt before a storm; if they are playful, it is a sign of fair weather.
Partridges.
Partridges drum only in fall when a mild and open winter follows.
Rabbits.
In cold, long winters rabbits are fat in October and November; in mild and pleasant winters they are poor in those months.
Rabbits seek the woods before a severe storm.
Rats and Mice.
Much noise made by rats and mice indicates rain.
Swine.
If swine be restless and grunt loudly, if they squeal and jerk up their ears, there will be much wind. Whence the proverb, “Pigs can see the wind.”
