Updated: Backyard Wildlife in Port Jeff

Spring brings the warm weather and the wildlife to Port Jefferson. Not we're not talking about the partiers down port at the bars and clubs. We're talking about the little critters that come out from hibernation, fly north and crawl out from a rock in our backyards. Enjoy our slide show of some of the wildlife that was caught creeping, crawling and relaxing around town.

Send your photos of the wildlife around Port Jefferson and Port Jefferson Station to editor Lon Cohen at lon.cohen@patch.com. (We especially like wildlife spotted in your backyards, close to home.) Come back often as we update our gallery with your photos and images.
