  • Snags rise above the frozen surface of Earthquake Lake in the Gallatin National Forest in Montana. The lake, located west of Yellowstone, was formed in 1959 after a magnitude 7.3 earthquake triggered an 80-million ton landslide, damming the Madison River. The snags here are trees that perished when their roots were flooded.

  • Several snags frame a cluster of additional snags in an estuary of the Skagit Wildlife Area on Fir Island in Washington state. The area was once actively cultivated to provide winter wildlife habitat, but is now being restored to its natural state as a tidal marsh.

  • Dead lodgepole pine trees cast shadows on the snow covering the Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Lodgepole pine trees have a very shallow root system that extends sideways, allowing them to grow in Yellowstone where there is only a thin layer of topsoil that contains few nutrients. These snags, however, are near an active hydrothermal area and they soaked up mineral-laden water.

  • A female belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) hunts from its perch in a snag over the Sammamish River in Kenmore, Washington. Kingfishers often sit on prominent exposed perches, about 5 to 20 feet above the water, searching for small fish. When they find one, they dive head first into the water to catch it.

  • 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.
