  • A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) hides from crows in the lush forest of Interlaken Park, Seattle, Washington. The hawk, the most common in North America, typically hunts in open areas and is rarely found in thick forests. Hawks, eagles and other raptors are frequent targets for mobbing crows.

  • An adult bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) with a rare pigment disorder known as Leucism feeds along the Nooksack River in Washington's North Cascades. Leucism is a mutation that prevents melanin, a pigment, from being produced in parts of the bird's body. The condition is related to albinism where the animal is entirely unable to produce pigment.

  • A large rock is balanced on a sandstone pillar in the Hartnet Draw of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Balanced rocks form when a layer of more durable rock sits atop a layer that is less resistant to erosion.

  • Colorful ice surrounds Lower Yellowstone Falls in winter in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Lower Yellowstone Falls plunges 308 feet (94 meters) and is the highest-volume waterfall in the Rocky Mountains. Some of the unusual coloring on the ice is the result of mineral-rich rock dust that has been eroded and deposited by the Yellowstone River. The blue icicles result from the ice being uniform and free of bubbles, so it reflects only blue wavelengths of light.

  • The Three Sisters, a cluster of three volcanic peaks in central Oregon, are bathed in alpenglow as the full moon sets into the Belt of Venus just before sunrise in this aerial view. The three peaks are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon. Of the three, the South Sister, visible on the left, is the tallest with an elevation of 10,385 feet (3,157 meters) and is also known as Charity. The Middle Sister, also known as Hope, is the shortest with an elevation of 10,047 feet (3,062 meters). The North Sister, also known as Faith, is slightly taller at 10,085 feet (3,074 meters). The Three Sisters are unusual in that the volcanic peaks are in a dense cluster; volcanoes in the Cascade Range are typically spaced out with 40 to 60 miles (60 to 100 kilometers) of distance between them. Of the three peaks, only the South Sister is likely to become active again. The last eruption was 50 B.C. The Three Sisters are part of the Three Sisters Wilderness, Oregon's second-largest wilderness area.

  • Needles Eye, a prominent granite formation in Custer State Park in South Dakota, stands nearly 40 feet tall and has an unusual slit that's only a few feet across. The granite in the Black Hills of South Dakota erodes at a rate of about one inch per 40,000 years.

  • Sea lettuce glows in unusual colors under ultraviolet light during a nighttime low tide at the edge of Puget Sound in Des Moines, Washington. The glow is the result of phosphors that convert ultraviolet radiation, which is invisible to human eyes, into wavelengths that are visible. This scene was captured under black light.

  • This unusual "triple twist tree" growing out of a crack in a lava field at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho helped scientists determine the age of the flow here. The tree has 1,350 rings, so scientists figure the flow here is about 2,000 years old. This flow is the youngest in Craters of the Moon National Monument.

  • Fish swim through and around a colony of Fiordland Black Coral (Antipathella fiordensis) in Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand. Of the black corals, Fiordland Black Coral is unusual because it's found in the shallowest waters. Most black corals are deep sea species, but Fiordland Black Coral is found at depths of just 10 to 50 meters (32 to 164 feet). Black coral actually appears white when its alive, and unlike other corals does not need warm, shallow water. Milford Sound is host to 7 million coral colonies, which have been developing for 200 million years. The Fiordland Black Coral is visible without diving to visitors of the Marine Discovery Centre in Milford Sound, which extends 10 meters under water.
