  • A Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) wades in the water of the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge near Kehei, Maui, Hawaii. The Hawaiian stilt, or ae'o in Hawaiian, is an endangered subspecies of the black-necked stilt and has the longest legs in proportion to its body of any bird in the world. Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge is a coastal salt marsh. During the rainy winter season, the pond swells to more than 400 acres. It shrinks to about half that size in the dry summer, leaving a slaty residue behind as it dries out.

  • Flames surround a Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) cone in King County, Washington. Douglas fir cones are unique in that they have three-pronged brachts that extend from between the scales. According to Native American legends, those brachts represent mice that used the cone for protection during forest fires; the mice dove headfirst into the cones and the three prongs represent their hing legs and tail.

  • Ripples on the water show the motion of a Common Water Strider (Gerris species) across a small pond in Seattle, Washington. Common Water Stiders seem to skate across water. They rely on the surface tension of water to remain above the surface and use their two center legs like row boat oars to move.

  • A piebald Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) stands in a field in Pierce County, Washington. Piebaldism is caused by a genetic mutation that affects less than 2 percent of deer. Piebaldism differs from albinism in that piebald animals have cells that can produce pigment, but those cells don't. Piebald deer have a relatively low survival rate because they also often suffer from other deformities, particularly leg and spine issues.
