  • 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.

  • A common myna (Acridotheres tristis) rests on the frond of a coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) tree on the island of Maui, Hawai`i. The common myna, sometimes referred to as the Indian Myna or spelled mynah, is native to Asia, but is rapidly spreading its territory. Its native range spans southern Asia from Iran to Singapore, but the bird has since been introduced in many other parts of the world, including Australia, Hawaii, Canada, and islands in the Indian Ocean. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared the myna one of the world's most invasive species.

  • Wind blows across a curved dune, creating streaks of sand in the Juniper Dunes Wilderness in Washington state. The Juniper Dunes Wilderness, northeast of Pasco, Washington, is home to the largest sand dunes in Washington state. The dunes, some of which are as much as 100 feet high, are located in what was essentially a flood basin at the end of the last ice age. The Juniper Dunes Wilderness, located in Franklin County, is a wilderness preserve that spans more than 7,000 acres.
