Winter is cold in some places. Many plants do not grow during winter, and some plants die. Snow and ice may cover the ground, making it hard for animals to find food during this season. Animals get through this time in many ways. Birds and butterflies can fly, and many of them do not stay for the winter. They leave for a place with nice weather and return in the spring. We call this migration, which is a good way to avoid the cold.
