This one was a lucky catch. We were having our nightly happy hour on the deck when I saw the bird land in the river, so I grabbed my camera and caught the photo just as this Common Merganser was taking off on the Little Spokane River in Colbert, June 2020.

We were really surprised to see this odd snake across the Liberty Lake Loop Trail in the Liberty Lake Regional Park at the beginning of June. It almost looked like an albino of some kind and the eyes were really weird. I came to find out it is a "Rubber Boa". Yes, I did move it off the trail so it wouldn't be stepped on by all the hikers that were there that day.
