Best viewed large: male American Kestrel, up close and personal (including shrew guts).
These images were shot from my car window on the auto route at the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in Clark County, Washington.

Signs of glacial erosion on trail 505 in Washington Park on Fidalgo Island, WA.
This curved rock wall was shaped by glaciers about 15,000 years ago. You can even see striations on the surface of the wall made by rocks embedded in the glacial ice.
