Wolf track, not dog - yes?
When I saw the red eyeliner I had to stop and snap a photo! I'm not sure if this coloring is natural or a sign this fish is ready to mate? Let me know if you have any ideas!
imported accidentally in a banana box. We cannot figure out the country of origin!
I was on a manta ray night dive and this curious monk seal floated up in the middle of our group and looked at us for a while before bumping into a snorkeler, scaring both of them.
Sounds very similar to Steller's Jay
Is this a shark tooth?
Back in 2011, when I got this picture and reported the sighting to the Washington Ornithological Society, they indicated it had been a couple years since one had been reported in Washington (state).
I walked the area for years, including nearly 4 years after this sighting, never seeing a Northern Cardinal again.
Here's a series of photos of a pair of American Dippers constructing their nest in 7 days! Day 5 is missing because it was snowing!
Sadly, too fast for this particular camera trap setup.
Two species here... the Robin (adult) and Cedar Waxwings (nestlings).
These Cedar Waxwing nestlings are pictured here with heir FOSTER parent. That's right.
This takes some explanation, and this story was full of twists and turns, but far too long to detail here.

One of the nestlings natural parents... but within a day they'd have a foster parent!

Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer than this. Whatever this is was something large.
Any guess what this skeleton is? I heard elk, but might be a marine mammal? Observed on sand bar on Nisqually River at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, Nisqually River overlook
I think it is a hybrid green-winged teal. Possibly Eurasian.
This may be impossible from the photo, but there's a parasite on this sculpin I'd love to identify, if possible.
I saw a group of crows while walking my dog (who made it tough to take a photo), including one light gray individual.
Found in South Fork of Muck Creek

This is a duodenal biopsy where Giardia organisms were found "incidentally." The patient may have had some non-specific GI symptoms leading to the endoscopy, but Giardiasis must not have been on the top of the differential diagnosis. If it had been, a diagnosis could have been made more economically with a GI Pathogen PCR test on feces, or with a fecal Giardia antigen test.
The organisms have the typical look of "tumbling leaves," and are seen between the villi and not actually attached to the tissue.
While living at Apple park apartments on a third story balcony-this small flying squirrel repeatedly found late night snacks in our bird feeder. On this one occasion it stayed for more than 20 minutes before jumping off and gliding to the forest floor below. The apartment was 35 feet up and surrounded by by multiple large Douglas firs. I shot all photos through the sliding glass window with Canon Powershot sx130.
This is not my photo. I did not have a camera when we were walking along North Lake Whatcom Trail. A neighbor later sent this to me.
Why the mountain lion was swimming in the lake in broad daylight is a mystery. It does look pretty young though.
Saw two while driving out of a canyon north of Davenport, WA. Incredibly one sat in the open for a few minutes while I took photos from my car!
Photographs of six transient orcas who were in Hood Canal for several months in the spring/summer of 2005.
Four CWW perched on a single Douglas fir limb(recent large groups have been feeding on an osoberry below over the last week at this location).
Leucistic American robin. Poor image quality, but of useful documentation of this rare albinism.
Tracks in the TESC forest near the beach. Could the scratched up tree bark (pictured) be related? 4 toes, no claws
Human hand for size comparison. Very small cetacean
Hatched from mason bee (Osmia lignaria) cocoon. Female.
This was a new one for me. Never seen a bird that had completely molted all its head feathers at the same time.... Weird and wonderful.
Found on Bryoria capillaris in opal Creek Oregon
I have no idea what this is, but it looked like it might be an egg sack??
