Northern Goshawk
The northern goshawk is the largest of the North American "true hawks". The name ”goshawk” is a traditional name from Anglo-Saxon gōshafoc, literally “goose hawk”. The name implies prowess against larger quarry such as geese, but Northern Goshawks were also flown against crane species and other large water birds in ancient falconry. Atilla the Hun wore an image of a Northern Goshawk on his helmet. Threatened by logging of old growth forests.

American Marten
Pine martens are agile climbers and spend much of their time in trees, where they prey on squirrels and chipmunks. They are a member of the weasel family. An American marten group is called a 'richness'. During cold weather, martens have a hard time keeping warm, so they tunnel deep under the snow into tangles of tree roots for warmth. Threatened by logging of old growth forests.

Fighting the politicization of National Forests
Great Grey Owl
Logging of Lodgepole pine – a preferred species of the Great Grey Owl and the timber industry -has resulted in the loss of habitat for this iconic species. Did you know the only way for Lodgepole pine to regenerate is through fire? The pine cones burst during a fire spreading the seeds to create a new Lodgepole forest. So logging and replanting is rarely successful.

Marbeled Murrulet
A small seabird in the auk family was once known as the "Australian Bumble Bee" by fishermen and as the "fogbird" or "fog lark" by loggers. Though it was first described in 1789, a nest site wasn't discovered until 1961 by ornithologists in Asia; a North American nest was not found until 1974. A group of auks has many collective nouns, including a "colony", "loomery", and "raft" of auks. Threatened by logging of old growth forests.
