Well....the only difference I can point-to between the two scenarios, other than significantly more-severe winters, would be the complete absence of wild turkeys. There used to be moose up there as well but a pestilence known locally as "brain-worm" seems to have eradicated them. There also aren't any quail locally, but there are sharptails if that means anything. There was an episode on "Nature" a while back that was titled "My life as a turkey". Besides it being a beautifully well-done story about a wildlife biologist raising a flock of wild birds in Florida and keeping them wild, it made me keenly aware of just how voraciously efficient they are at foraging. Anything small in their path was fair game as they would vacuum-up anything and everything they came across.
