  • Two snowy owls (Bubo scandiacus, formerly Nyctea scandiaca) rest together on a log near Boundary Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Snowy owls, like other owls, typically hunt at night and rest during the day. Snowy owls are rarely found as far south as the Canada/United States border, but do migrate that far once or twice a decade in a type of migration known as an irruption. Irruptions occur when the snowy owl population is too large for the food supply on the Arctic tundra, forcing them to spread out much farther than normal.

  • Several arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) rest on icebergs floating in Iceland's Glacial Lagoon. Each year, it migrates farther than any other animal, summering in both the Arctic and in Antarctica.

  • A snowy owl (Nyctea scandiaca) appears to yawn while resting on driftwood at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington. Snowy owls, like other owls, hunt at night and spend most of the day resting to conserve energy. Snowy owls, which spend the summer in the northern circumpolar region north of 60 degrees latitude, have a typical winter range that includes Alaska, Canada and northern Eurasia. Every several years, for reasons still unexplained, the snowy owls migrate much farther south in an event known as an irruption. During one irruption, a snowy owl was found as far south as the Caribbean. During the 2011-2012 irruption, Ocean Shores on the Washington coast was the winter home for an especially large number of snowy owls. Snowy owls tend to prefer coastal and plains areas, which most resemble the open tundra that serves as their typical home.

  • A mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) sits to rest in the forest of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. The gorilla is a member of the Kwitonda group, which means "humble one" in Kinyarwanda, the national language of Rwanda. The Kwitonda group migrated from the Democratic Republic of Congo and now inhabits the lower slopes of Mount Muhabura in Rwanda.

  • A male broad-billed hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris) hovers as it looks for a place to feed in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area in southern Arizona. The hummingbird's range is primarily in Mexico, though some migrate to the mountain canyons in southern Arizona and New Mexico during breeding season. The broad-billed hummingbird consumes as much as 1.7 times its body weight in nectar each day.

  • Hundreds of Vaux's swifts (Chaetura vauxi) circle then dive into the chimney at the Wagner Center in Monroe, Washington, during their fall migration. Vaux's swifts do not have back talons, so they cannot stand or perch. They roost by clinging to rough surfaces, mainly old-growth trees, but also old chimneys and smoke stacks that do not have smooth interior liners. As many as 26,000 Vaux's swifts have perched in the Monroe chimney at a time.
