Warmer with showers, storms through Tuesday; Severe weather possible Wednesday

An osprey flexes its wings atop a tree branch on Monday, April 3, 2023, near Enon in Clark County. The bird of prey once was a common site in North American but suffered a population decline from habitat destruction and the use of chemical pesticides, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Ohio’s osprey reintroduction program has been a success, ODNR said. MARSHALL GORBY\STAFF
