Humans aren't the only ones to celebrate the fragile warmth of early spring days. Turtles bask on rocks and a screech owl snoozes in a tree. An osprey, recently returned from a winter spent in the south, catches a fish and prepares to enjoy a meal. 

From a wind surfer at Squibnocket to blooming daffodils, all living things seemed to relish the outdoors this week.
