  • A brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is rendered in silhouette as it flies over Puerto Real off the coast of Esperanza on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, just before sunrise. The brown pelican feeds mainly on fish and is one of only two types of pelicans that feed by diving head-first into the water.

  • A Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) dives for food into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Brown Pelicans hunt in a unique way. They fly over bodies of water, spotting fish from as far as 50 feet (15 meters) away. Once they spot a fish, they dive, plunging into the water head first and scooping up the fish and the water around it in its large pouch. It quickly strains the water from the side of its bill and swallows the fish.

  • A pair of brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) share a Pacific Ocean beach with dozens of gulls in Cannon Beach, Oregon. The pelicans are displaying their breeding plumage. The gulls are predominantly glaucous winged/western gull hybrids, which are especially common on the Washington and northern Oregon coast.

  • Upper Tahquamenon Falls, framed by winter ice, drops 48 feet (14 meters) in Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The upper falls are more than 200 feet (60 meters) across and portions of the waterfall freeze in winter. The water of the Tahquamenon River appears brown or red because of tannic acid that results from the organic material generated by the cedar, hemlock and spruce forests along the river.

  • The Tahquamenon River flows around ice in the river upstream from Upper Tahquamenon Falls in Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Michigan. The Tahquamenon River's brown color comes from tannic acid generated by organic material from cedar, hemlock and spruce trees along its banks. The golden light of sunrise reflecting on the river intensifies that color in this image.

  • Upper Tahquamenon Falls, located in Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the upper peninsula of Michigan, flows through the thawing winter ice. The water of the Tahquamenon River appears brown or red because of tannic acid that results from the organic material generated by the cedar, hemlock and spruce forests along the river.

  • A captive grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) rests in a forested area of Washington state. Adult grizzly bear males can weigh as much as 800 pounds (360 kilograms), making the bear the largest land-based predator in the world. The grizzly bear is a brown bear, found across much of northern North America, Europe and Asia.

  • A Sika deer (Cervus nippon) poses in the grass along a marsh in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island, Virginia. Sika deer, also known as Asian elk, are native to Japan and are found naturally in eastern Asia from Siberia to Vietnam. They were introduced to Assateague Island in the 1920s.

  • A grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) hunts for food in a meadow located in the Many Glacier section of Glazier National Park, Montana. Grizzly bears will eat both vegetation and animals. This one was feasting on blueberries growing in the meadow.

  • An Assateague horse (Equus caballus), also known as a Chincoteague pony, takes a nap on a sand dune in the Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland. About 300 wild — technically feral — ponies roam Assateague Island on the Atlantic coast. There is some dispute as to how the ponies ended up on the island. Some researchers believe the ponies are survivors of the wreck of a Spanish galleon, La Galga, which sank just off the coast in 1750; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes they are descendants of horses owned by early colonial settlers.

  • A feral horse (Equus caballus) stands in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. Wild horses have lived in the badlands of western North Dakota since the middle of the 19th century, and about 100 horses currently inhabit the national park.

  • A young arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) curls up to stay warm during a rainstorm near the summit of Thrihnukagigur, a volcano in southwestern Iceland. The arctic fox is also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, though it displays its pure white form only in the winter months. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm). To survive in such a harsh environment, they have very deep fur and a rounded body shape, which minimizes the portion of their body that is exposed to the elements.

  • Several Western Gulls (Larus occidentalis) dive for fish in the Pacific Ocean off Chapman Point near Cannon Beach, Oregon. Western Gulls are rarely seen away from the ocean and are found along the west coast of North America from Washington to Baja California. The mostly white birds are adults; the brown birds are juveniles.

  • A variety of thermophiles, which are microorganisms that thrive in heat, are responsible for the colors in the Grand Prismatic Spring, located in the Midway Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The yellow-green color comes from the thermophilic cyanobacteria Synechococcus, which is found in the hottest water of the spring (up to 161°F or 72°C). Phormidium, which is orange, is found in the spring's middle temperatures (113-140°F or 45-60°C). Calothrix, which is brown or black, is found in the coolest temperatures, although not lower than 86°F or 30°C. The terraces are the result of minerals that solidify in water that spills out of the spring.

  • Delicate stalactites, called soda straws, hang from the ceiling of the Painted Grotto in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. Soda straws develop where water droplets hang from the ceiling. Initially, a calcite ring forms on the ceiling. Calcite deposits continue to accumulate on the initial ring, and the straw grows longer as the deposits build up. If enough calcite deposits build up, the soda straws can develop into large stalactites. Calcite is a colorless mineral in its pure form. The presence of other minerals causes the stalactites in the cavern to take on yellow, orange, red, or brown coloration.

  • Brown pelicans dive off Natural Bridge near Santa Cruz, California at sunset. There used to be three arches, but the second one collapsed in the early 1980s. The first collapsed even earlier. Arches or bridges form when waves continually pound a weak spot in the rock, wearing a hole through it. Over time, continued erosion enlarges the hole so much that the overlying rock can no longer be supported and it collapses. A bridge is a span that connects to the mainland; an arch stands by itself.

  • A towering columnar basalt cliff is partially reflected in the waters of Breiðasund in the town of Stykkishólmur, Iceland. Columnar basalt is a volcanic rock formed when basalt lava rapidly cools at or very near the Earth's surface. Basalt, which is naturally grey or black, is rich in iron and can rapidly rust, taking on a reddish-brown appearance.
