An eagle can live up to 70 years, but to reach this age the eagle must make some hard and difficult decisions.

The most noticeable characteristics of the American red squirrel are the tail and the eye ring. The tree squirrel's tail is bushy and dark red with hints of a white outline. The eye ring is a thick, white circle around the rodent's black eyes. American red squirrels are about 12 inches and have grayish, red, or rust-colored fur with a white belly. Sometimes a black stripe can be seen on the sides.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter. The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the American white pelican in 1789. The scientific name means "red-billed pelican", from the Latin term for a pelican, Pelecanus, and erythrorhynchos, derived from the Ancient Greek words erythros (ἐρυθρός, "red") + rhynchos (ῥύγχος, "bill").
I took an amazing trip with my cousins to a unique and little known Idaho gem of a cave. It is a collapsed lava tube. The ferns growing in the ring are remnants left from the passing of the last ice age. I don’t think there are any native ferns for at least a couple hundred miles in any direction from this location. The surface is an arid lava desert, typical of southern Idaho, the complete antithesis to the damp and cool cave interior.
I was overwhelmed with how magical it felt. I could easily imagine The Grail or Excalibur hovering in mystical light over the center of the fern ring, or that I had fallen into a story in which the traveler finds himself inside a fairy mound. For the record we were very courteous, didn’t make a mess and only ate/drank from our own supplies ;)
A nice sign of spring, finally seeing robins and red winged black birds, still not getting warm out though.
American Oystercatchers are the only birds in their environment with the ability to open large molluscs such as clams and oysters (except for large gulls that drop clams onto pavement). Foraging oystercatchers often attract other birds eager to share (or steal from) the oystercatcher’s “raw bar,” including Willets, large gulls, and Ruddy Turnstones.
An unmistakable bird of the Caribbean and nothern South American coast, this species is found in saline lagoons where it often walks with its head under water as it feeds on acquatic invertebrates. Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Flamencos, Camarones, Colombia
Photographed in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. I have seen a significant increase in the number of American Goldfinches recently.
Young nestlings can run within 24 hours of birth but their beaks are not strong enough to open bivalve shells until they are about 2 months old.
This robin was about to enjoy a puddle in our driveway, but hadn't disrupted the perfect reflection yet.

A large number of American Robins (Turdus migratorius) spent the winter of 2015/2016, surviving on fruit and berry trees along with feeding on minnows in a small wetland in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
As we have now entered the winter of 2016/2017, it will be interesting to see if any Robins attempt to brave the season again.

American beech is a distinctive and elegant forest tree in Kentucky and throughout eastern North America. In early spring new leaves emerge from buds as feathery tassels. Handsome foliage develops a golden bronze color in the fall. American beech's graceful, spreading form is superior to other beeches and is attractive throughout the year. Winter, however, emphasizes this tree's other notable attributes - its long, thin, pointed, brown leaf buds and its smooth, thin, light gray, "wrinkled" bark that resembles an elephant's hide. American beech bark is nearly white and is much paler than European beech. Like oak, beech often holds on to its bottom leaves throughout winter.
I did in fact get shots of other birds while waiting for action from the owls over the weekend. This sparrow was particularly cooperative. It didn't seem overly windy, but apparently there was enough of a breeze to give him a crest. Lincoln County, Missouri

Papilio polyxenes, the black swallowtail, American swallowtail or parsnip swallowtail, is a butterfly found throughout much of North America. My garden in Fairfield Harbour, NC
This robin found a nice place to pose with lovely light and bokeh. I love it when they find a good place to pose!
