Spring has sprung: the season of new life Spring has made its yearly debut during the last month or so, and all the signs are here. I’ve seen the first garter and timber rattlesnakes of the year, spotted ferns and wild grasses sprouting, and have spotted a variety of bird young that have hatched out this spring. The sound of gobbling turkeys and the melodic call of the wood thrush can be heard in the region’s fields and forests. Deer are foraging and will soon have this spring’s fawns with them. Take a little trek to the woods, lake or wetlands, and see, hear and smell the coming of new life.
