Scotland gave me a right punch to the head. And I don’t mean metaphorically. I expected to be awed by its rugged coasts and Iron Age forts. I just didn’t anticipate the real, knock-you-down physicalness of it.
Galapagos Islands
While the Galapagos Islands are famous for their diverse and abundant birdlife, many people don’t associate the archipelago with owls. In fact, there are two endemic subspecies of owls endemic to the islands, the Galapagos barn owl (Tyto alba punctatissima) and the Galapagos short-eared owl (Asio flammeus galapagoensis).

Before I took my first trip to Glacier National Park, I had pretty high expectations for one of its most famous features, Going-to-the-Sun Road. I would think that a highway with a name like that would carry me from the Earth into the sky—or at the very least, make me feel that way.

A great blue heron is one of my favorite birds to spot while canoeing in Wisconsin rivers. Largest of the North American herons, this bird has long, graceful legs; a sinuous neck; and a thick, daggerlike bill. Head, chest and wing plumes give the great blue heron a shaggy, flowing appearance.
