  • A spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) rests in a bare tree in early spring in Snohomish County, Washington. The spotted towhee is a type of sparrow. Spotted towhees in the western part of the bird's range, such as this one, have spots on their primary and secondary feathers; eastern towhees do not.

  • An adult bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) with a rare pigment disorder known as Leucism feeds along the Nooksack River in Washington's North Cascades. Leucism is a mutation that prevents melanin, a pigment, from being produced in parts of the bird's body. The condition is related to albinism where the animal is entirely unable to produce pigment.

  • The feet of a spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) disappear beneath the surface of the snow as the bird forages in nearly a foot of snow in Snohomish County, Washington. The spotted towhee forages mainly by looking for food on the ground. Its diet consists mainly of insects, seeds and berries.

  • A western gull (Larus occidentalis), displaying its non-breeding plumage, rests on the rocky shore of Puget Sound, Washington. Most adult gulls have red spots at the tips of their bills; newborn chicks peck at that spot to get the adult to regurgitate food for it to eat.

  • A western gull (Larus occidentalis) takes off from its rocky perch on Jetty Island near Everett, Washington. Most adult gulls have red spots at the tips of their bills; newborn chicks peck at that spot to get the adult to regurgitate food for it to eat.

  • 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.

  • Pacific Ocean waves crash up against the one remaining arch in Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz, California. There used to be three arches. Arches 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 the arch collapses.

  • A murder of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) flies over Snohomish County, Washington, on the way to the birds' night roosting spot with some of their wings catching the golden light of sunset.

  • A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) claims a hunting spot on the oyster beds in Hood Canal, Washington. Hundreds of bald eagles congregate in the area near the town of Seabeck early each summer to feed on migrating midshipman fish when get caught in the oyster beds during low tides.

  • An osprey (Pandion haliaetus) hovers over Puget Sound near Everett, Washington, in search for fish. Osprey, also known as sea hawks or fish eagles, hover over water until they spot fish. They then plunge head and feet first to grab their prey. Barbed pads on their feet prevent slippery fish from getting away.

  • An osprey (Pandion haliaetus) soars over Port Gardner near Everett, Washington, in search for fish. Osprey, also known as sea hawks or fish eagles, hover over water until they spot fish. They then plunge head and feet first to grab their prey. Barbed pads on their feet prevent slippery fish from getting away.

  • A large flock of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) lands in bare trees in Skagit Valley, Washington. European starlings tend to travel in large flocks and fly in a large, dense cluster when they spot predators.

  • A vibrant rainbow forms during a late-afternoon rainstorm over Waimea Canyon on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The canyon is 10 miles long and more than 3,500 feet deep. It was carved by runoff from Mount Waialeale, which gets more rain than any other spot on Earth.

  • 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.

  • Two bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fight in midair for a prime hunting spot along Hood Canal in Washington state. Hundreds of bald eagles congregate in the area near Seabeck early each summer to feast on migrating midshipman fish that get trapped in oyster beds at low tide.

  • Moss begins to overtake the rocky landscape within the blast zone at Mount St. Helens National Monument, Washington. This image was captured nearly 30 years after the violent May 18, 1980 eruption. The first wildflowers began to appear in this spot about 20 years after the eruption.

  • With a Pacific Ocean wave in the background, a Heermann's gull (Larus heermanni) rests on a rock overlooking Las Tunas Beach near Malibu, California. This is an adult Heermann's gull, displaying breeding plumage. Heermann's gulls are native to the west coast of North America, from southwestern British Columbia to Mexico. The gulls are usually found at the shoreline or very far out to sea; they are very rarely spotted inland. Nearly all of the Heermann's gulls nest on Isla Rasa in the Gulf of California.
