    Snowy owl
  • A polar bear framed by the remains of a dead bowhead whale sniffs the air near the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The 3,800 polar bears that live off Alaska's coast face an uncertain future as global warming melts more of the Arctic's summer sea ice each year, forcing them to spend more time on land competing with grizzly bears and people. (Steve Ringman / The Seattle Times, 2005)
    Polar bear and whale bones
  • A snowy owl circles its nest outside Barrow, the northernmost town in the United States. Snowy owls are so aggressive about protecting their eggs from predators -- such as Arctic foxes -- that other birds often make their nests nearby. Owls typically eat rodent-like lemmings, but the number of both on the tundra outside Barrow has been low for several years. (Steve Ringman / The Seattle Times, 2005)
    Aerial observer
  • A number of Snowy Owls returned to Washington in 2013, creating speculation that there would be an echo from the previous year’s large scale southern migration, Nov. 26, 2012. Irruptions, as they are known, occur periodically and 2012 was particularly good for local bird watchers. Several of the arctic beauties staged in the Stillaguamish River estuary near Stanwood.

    Tough tugs, big cargo
  • The amount of things you can put on these floating platforms is mind-boggling. Capt. Brent Bierbaum said this one included 51 rail cars and the equivalent of 132 semi-trailer trucks. Topping the massive stack were several boats and a Caterpillar excavator. (Gabriel Campanario / The Seattle Times)
    Tough tugs, big cargo
  • Sticking close, a gaggle of Canada geese — 15 are offspring — head north on Lake Washington near Seward Park recently. The geese, generally partial to fresh water, have become very successful urban dwellers. (Alan Berner/The Seattle Times)
