Osprey return to their summer nests, arriving with all the other spring birds as a sign of a new season. Year-round wildlife seem to relish in the warmer days, too, with otters diving for fish in flowing streams and turkeys shuffling across blooming fields. And on the farms there are charming newborn lambs taking their first steps under the spring sun.
