  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) kit runs with prey provided by its mother in tall grass in San Juan Island National Historical Park on San Juan Island, Washington.

  • A Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus) dives to attack a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as it watches over its nest in Kirkland, Washington.
