Geranium phaeum (‘Kuro-fuuro’ in Japanese) is a species of geranium (cranesbill) native to Central and Southern Europe. For its quiet appearance with dark purple petals, it’s called Dusky cranesbill or Black widow. Taken in my little garden.

Kuddel the black beauty. He and Flo are now about 4 months in our family, and we can't imagine a life without them. They learn to trust more and more.

A black swallowtail, Papilio polyxenes, hatched out recently, in my neighbor's lepidopterarium. He grows fennel in the yard, and that is one of the favored host plants of black swallowtails. Wild butterflies oviposit on the fennel and when caterpillars become visible, they are bagged (still on the plant) in mesh bags that exclude predators and parasites but allows the caterpillar to feed.
Today he released two black swallowtails, one male and one female--this is the female. The female settled on the fennel plant--shown here--the male immediately went off to celebrate his freedom.
A black swallowtail caterpillar was shown in a previous post, and it is copied into the first comment, below.

Sayornis nigricans angustirostris
(Black phoebe / Viudita de Río)
The Black Phoebe lives in a variety of habitats but is always near water. It is mainly insectivorous, and waits on a perch before flying out and catching its prey in the air. The sexes are identical in color, and juveniles have brown feather tips.
Subspecies "angustirostris" is found in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. Also called "White-winged Phoebe" because it has more white in the wings than the northern subspecies.

This Black-throated Green Warbler was seen on a rainy, windy day at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
Two rainy days (and the third with an extremely dense fog that dwindled to extreme haze by midday) spoiled the excitement about Spring migration.
Upon returning home, the engine light came on in my car, and the resulting inspection gave the worst condition--a very expensive cost for a new engine

Kruger National Park
This photo was taken at the Letaba rest camp in the Kruger National Park. The camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Park.
In winter the gardens are a riot of color, with several species of Aloe and the Impala lily in full bloom.
The Aloes attract a variety of birds, including the Collard, White-bellied, Marico and Scarlet-chested Sunbirds, Crested Barbet, Black-headed Oriole, Black-eyed Bulbul and Red-winged Starlings.
Poor bird was really feeling the heat even in the water it was in and out panting taken in Oban Scotland.
Many thanks for stopping by always appreciated.
A gorgeous backard visitor which is seen throughout the year unlike the Indian Golden Orioles that appear only in the cooler months. The males as seen here, are predominantly yellow, with a solid black hood, and black also in the wings and tail centre. The females do have the black hood but are drabber with greenish underparts. They are great fliers and are not easily detected on trees in spite of their bright colours.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.

I frequently go to beautiful Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, California. There is a small cascading waterfall surrounded by beautiful shrubs.
The title is a play on a classic song by Santana.
I processed a black & white HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and darkened the surroundings to get this magical feel.

An amazing experience watching this pair feed their chicks recently.
Taken at a public site at a distance so as not to disturb the birds or alter their behaviour.
Looks can be deceiving as this smaller scruffy looking Sow Black Bear was able to catch Salmon readily, fend off larger Bears at prime fishing spots and had a cub last year, a true survivor and a wonderful Black Bear !!
