This Atlantic puffin was photographed on the Látrabjarg bird cliff in Iceland; about 60 percent of all Atlantic puffins breed in Iceland.

  • The golden light of sunset colors the walls of Mont Saint-Michel, a former monastery on a tidal island in Normandy, France. Mont Saint-Michel was known as Mont-Tombe until the 8th century when St. Aubert built a church there after having a vision of the archangel St. Michael. It soon became a pilgrimage center and a Benedictine abbey was built there in 966. After it was partially burned in 1203 during a takeover attempt by King Philip II of France, a monastery, known as La Merveille (“The Wonder”), was built and later fortified. The Mont Saint-Michel monastery was dissolved during the French Revolution (1787–99) and became a prison under Napoleon’s reign before the site was restored as a historic monument in 1874. Mont Saint-Michel was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. Mont Saint-Michel lies at the mouth of the Couesnon River, which is visible at on the left side of the image. Mont Saint-Michel is cut off from the mainland by sea water during very high tides.

  • An Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) sticks its tongue out as it lands on a maple tree in early spring.

Tiny grooves on the tongue draw fluid into their mouth through a capillary action.

Belding's ground squirrels produce at least two odors from glands on their mouths and backs. They can determine whether they're related, and how closely they're related, by those odors.
