  • Tangled Creek in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, curves through a patch of dead lodgepole pine trees that have a silica crust at their base, resembling bobby socks.

  • A male red-shafted northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) builds a nest in a snag in the Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle, Washington. The red-shafted northern flicker, also known as the western flicker, is a type of woodpecker and builds its nest by hollowing out decaying trees. It removes most of the wood chips to form a cavity in the tree, but reserves some wood chips to insulate and cushion its eggs. Unlike other birds, it does not use anything other than the wood chips to build its nest.

  • A bald eagle tried to steal a rabbit from a fox kit, but ended up flying away with both in a prairie at San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington state. Over an 8-second midair struggle, the eagle managed to release the fox that it accidentally snagged and flew away with the rabbit. Both European rabbits (Oryctolagus cunuculus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to San Juan Island. The rabbits were introduced to the island in the 1890s by settlers; foxes were introduced occasionally in the 1900s. The European rabbits in particular are considered an invasive species, turning the prairie into an unsustainable barren landscape with their vast burrows. This displaces small native mammals, such as the Townsend's vole. While bald eagles and foxes occasionally hunt rabbits, it is a relatively rare occurrence. Up to 97 percent of an eagle's diet consists of fish and birds; red foxes more commonly eat berries, insects and small mammals, like the vole.
