  • A red-breasted sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber) pauses between feeding at sap wells it created at a tree in Everett, Washington. A thread of sap clings to its head. The red-breasted sapsucker is known for drilling neat rows of shallow holes into trees to collect sap.

  • One juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) feeds at the nest while its sibling is forced to wait in the shadow for its turn. The young eagles were about two and a half months old at the time this image was taken and both had been flying for a couple weeks. One of the parents would deliver food to the nest while the young eagles were away and they would race back to the nest to feed. The dominant eagle arrived first and prevented the other juvenile from feeding.

As the name suggests, the ground squirrel normally feeds on fungi, vegetation, seeds and small fruits that are found on the ground, although it will climb into bushes and trees to feed.

  • Chincoteague ponies (Equus caballus), also known as Assateague horses, feed together on Assateague Island in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. Chincoteague ponies are small — typically 12-13 hands (about 4 feet tall) — their growth stunted by the limited food and harsh environment of Assateague Island. About 300 wild — technically feral — ponies roam the 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.

  • An Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) licks the trunk of an elm tree where a red-breasted sapsucker has drilled holes. Sapsuckers drill neat rows of holes in trees to feed on the sap, but their work attracts other animals. Insects are also drawn to the holes and squirrels, which are omnivores, will take advantage of opportunities to feed on the protein-rich insects.
