  • Two Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) share a ledge on the bird cliff at Látrabjarg, Iceland. Atlantic puffins spend most of their lives at sea, but nest on the coasts of Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the British Isles, Norway, Atlantic Canada, and northern Europe.

  • Two snowy owls (Nyctea scandiaca) rest on a log at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington; one appears to yawn while the other stretches one of its wings. 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.

  • 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.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared the myna one of the world's most invasive species.

  • Two bald eagle chicks, estimated to be about a week and a half old, share a nest. The eaglets are in the process of replacing their natal down with thermal down, a process that begins at about 10 days of age. They are hatched with natal down, a light-colored down that has little insulating ability. After its replaced with thermal down, which occurs at about 15 days of age, the eaglets are able to regulate their body temperature on their own.

  • Two hardened tubes are visible in the Ape Cave, a lava tube located near Mount St. Helens in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state. The ape cave formed about 2,000 years ago during the only known period when fluid basaltic lava erupted from the volcano. The outside edges of the lava flow cooled first, providing a crust that allowed fluid lava to continue flowing inside. This period of activity may have lasted a year during which the lava level rose and fell, leading to the unique shapes inside the cave. The Ape Cave lava tube is 13,042 feet (3976 meters) long, ranking as the third-longest in North America. The cave is named for a local hiking club, the St. Helens Apes.
