  • Honey bees (Apis mellifera) swarm in an apple tree in urban yard in Portland, Oregon A new honey bee colony is formed when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees, a process called swarming. A swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees. Swarming is the natural means of reproduction of honey bee colonies. © Michael Durham / www.DurmPhoto.com

  • The Whitcomb-Cole hewn log house is an example of early pioneer homes built in the 1890's.  It is one of only a few pioneer log homes still standing in Klickitat County, Washington. It originally stood two miles across Conboy lake on land first settled by Stephen Whitcomb. In 1891, John Cole acquired the land from Whitcomb and built the main structure of the house, which included a large downstairs room that served as a kitchen, dining, sitting and family room. The house is located in Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Washington.

  • The Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) has been lost from at least 78 percent of its former range. Precise historic data is lacking, but this species has been documented in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. It is believed to have been extirpated from California. It is currently known to occur from extreme southwestern British Columbia, south through the eastern side of the Puget/Willamette Valley Trough and the Columbia River Gorge in south-central Washington, to the Cascades Range, to at least the Klamath Valley in Oregon. In 1993, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that the Oregon spotted frog warranted listing under the Endangered Species Act, but doing so was precluded by higher priority listing actions. The frog then became a candidate for listing in the future. Photographed in the Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Washington. © Michael Durham / www.DurmPhoto.com

  • A male red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) among Douglas fir needles. Red tree voles are rarely seen. They are nocturnal and live in Douglas fir tree tops and almost never come to the forest floor.  They are one of the few animals that can persist on a diet of conifer needles which is their principle food.  As a defense mechanism, conifer trees have resin ducts in their needles that contain chemical compounds (terpenoids) that make them unpalatable to animals.  Tree voles, however, are able to strip away these resin ducts and eat the remaining portion of the conifer needle.

  • Blue camas flowers (Camassia quamash) and yellow western buttercup (Ranunculus occidental) blooming on Weippe Praire, Idaho. The bulbs of these plants are edible and are a valuable food source for the Nez Perce tribe. On September 20, 1805 the first members of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery, including Clark himself, emerged starving and weak onto the Weippe Prairie. There they encountered the Nez Perce, who were attracted to the area by the abundant hunting, as well as the fields of camas flowers, whose roots were a staple of their diet.

  • American pika (Ochotona princeps) in Craters of The Moon National Monument. Pikas at Craters of the Moon are different in size, color, and behavior than their mountain cousins. They are much darker and smaller than mountain pika. During the warmest summer months, they are most active at dawn and at dusk rather than during the day like in the mountains. Here they make their home in the lava fields using the broken lava for shelter.
