  • Four yellow-eyed penguins (Megadyptes antipodes), also known as Hoiho, walk across the beach at Jack's Bay, located in the Catlins on the southern tip of the South Island of New Zealand. Yellow-eyed penguins are endangered and are one of the most rare penguins in the world with a total population of only about 4,000. About 90 percent of the yellow-eyed penguin's diet consists of fish. During the breeding season, many of the penguins spend the entire day hunting in the ocean. They enter the Pacific Ocean at dawn and return at dusk, venturing as far as 25 kilometers (16 miles) offshore and diving to depts of up to 120 meters (394 feet).

  • A pair of northern shovelers (Spatula clypeata) swim together on a pond in the Union Bay Natural Area in Seattle, Washington.

The bird in the front is a male, or drake, in breeding plumage; behind him is a female, or hen.

  • Several members of the Orca (Orcinus Orca) family J Pod surface together to breathe while sleeping off Blakely Island in Washington's Puget Sound. When sleeping, the whales, also known as killer whales, turn off the half of their brains that are not responsible for regulating breathing. During this time, they tend to cluster, swim slowly in circles, and surface together. The J Pod is one of three families of orcas that are regularly found in the waters around Washington's San Juan Islands.

  • The Milky Way is visible in the midnight sky over the eastern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington state.

Mount Rainier, which has a summit of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), is the highest mountain in Washington state and largest volcano in the Cascade Range. This view was captured from Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park.

  • Chincoteague ponies (Equus caballus), also known as Assateague horses, feed together on Assateague Island in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. Chincoteague ponies are small — typically 12-13 hands (about 4 feet tall) — their growth stunted by the limited food and harsh environment of Assateague Island. About 300 wild — technically feral — ponies roam the island on the Atlantic coast. There is some dispute as to how the ponies ended up on the island. Some researchers believe the ponies are survivors of the wreck of a Spanish galleon, La Galga, which sank just off the coast in 1750; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes they are descendants of horses owned by early colonial settlers.

  • Three double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) fly together over the Snohomish River in Kenmore, Washington. Most types of cormorants are found only along the coast; the double-crested cormorant is typically the only one found very far inland.

  • Several North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) swim together in a channel in the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Washington. The river otters most commonly eat fish, but they also consume various amphibians, turtles, and crayfish.

  • Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) cluster together in Pacific Grove, California. The flight muscles of a monarch butterfly do not work well unless the temperature is above 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 Celsius), so during the winter they cluster in large masses to conserve heat.

  • Two tufted puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) rub their bills together, a behavior known as billing, near their burrow. Puffins mate for life and billing is believed to be a practice that solidifies their relationship. Tufted puffins are found throughout the North Pacific Ocean.

  • A family of Canada geese (Branta canadensis), two parents and three goslings, swim in the wetlands of the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, Washington. The typical Canada goose clutch size is five eggs, though it can range from two to twelve. The eggs hatch simultaneously so the parents can lead the goslings together away from the nest. Canada geese typically mate for life.

  • Dynjandi is a series of waterfalls that together drop more than 100 meters (330 feet) in Iceland's Westfjords. Shown here are Bæjarfoss (in the foreground) and Hæstajallafoss.

  • 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.

  • Three double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) roost together over the Snohomish River in Kenmore, Washington. Most types of cormorants are found only along the coast; the double-crested cormorant is typically the only one found very far inland.
