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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here is the funnel web of a Tegenaria agrestis or Hobo Spider with its spider, found along the gravel road that goes to the summit of Mt. Walker. This is one of hundreds of flat funnel webs that were about 1' across, some smaller and some up to 2' by 1'. The webs were spun among weeds by the road, quite visible as they were covered in dust from the gravel road. I noticed the Hobo Spider stays close to the hole of the funnel, but ventures out onto the platform of the web. The spider is only about 1/2" long and a medium tannish-brown.
