U.S. Geological Survey Wildlife biologists take physical measurements of an American Avocet in Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Using digital calipers, the birds culmen, or bill, is measured from the tip of the beak to the feather line. Still using the calipers the bird's legs are measured. Lastly the scientist takes a measurement of the wing length with a ruler.

This animation of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle illustrates the main steps of the cycle in air, water, and soils. The video explains and connects the many forms of nitrogen, such as ammonia, ammonium, hydroxylamine, nitrite, nitrate, nitrous oxide, and nitrogen dioxide, and explains the role of nitrate in nitric oxide signaling in the human body.
