Birds building nests, skunks getting busy in the bushes, geese honking to their mates. Spring can be a handful, but it is so glorious.

We want to celebrate the new season by collecting your photos that best represent spring in the animal kingdom. So send us pictures of bird nests, new lambs, frolicking bunnies, butterflies on flowers or bees humming around plants, being mindful not to disturb, annoy or harm any of the animals.

Upload your pictures here, and then check back often to see what others are submitting.

Here are some of our past slideshow tributes.
