Humans aren't the only ones excited for warmer weather. Islanders can expect to see more wildlife as the snow disappears and ground thaws and they make for some interesting pictures.
Many of these animals can be spotted year round, of course, but is it just us, or do they have an extra spring their step lately?
Take a look at some of your recent snaps.
