Black squirrels are very common in my area. They are a melanistic subgroup of the Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). They seem more aggressive than other squirrels, at least in my yard, so much so that only black squirrels remain by autumn, and they are continuously chasing each other as well as any other squirrels remaining.
This one was seen amid the fallen autumn leaves on a trail along West Grand Traverse Bay, near the point of Old Mission Peninsula, Peninsula Township, Michigan.
The gray sky and clouds opened and the rain poured down ...
Thank you for viewing , faves and comments and i wish you all my friends a happy weekend ahead ....
Gray-headed Kingfisher - Pakuba Safari Lodge, Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda
Bird Species (# 528) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

Two more looks at this beautiful Owl. I have learned a few things about this individual and his travels since my last post and I will put together a photo story about his journey to here and his contact with humans.

The Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) is a species of butterflies common in almost entire North America and is very common throughout their range. Color and Appearance: When the wings are open, the dorsal side displays a bright blue-gray coloration with a large red spot near the ends. When the wings are closed, the color of the ventral side during spring and fall is dark gray, while during summer, the color turns paler. The white postmedian line is relatively straight with an orange border on the inside edge. Each of the hind wings has a small tail-like protrusion that, by adaptation, looks almost like the antenna, while they render a head-like appearance on the wingtip in order to confuse predators. When the wings are closed, the ventral side shows a similar appearance as the dorsal. The female butterflies are relatively pale and shorter than the males.

It was nice to have multiple butterfly species on the butterfly milkweed this year including some nice gray coppers....
Fall is around the corner...

The worldwide range of a Gray-crested Helmetshrike is a small area located in northern Tanzania and southwest Kenya. My field guide indicates their range is less than 50,000 square km, and the eBird sighting map supports that. Their Conservation Status is Near Threatened primarily due to habitat loss. I wish I had more time to get a less obscured photograph of this bird.
Edit - I noticed that I got the units wrong on its range. I wrote "50 square km", and it should be "50,000 square km". Oops! Fixed.
Edit 2- 50,000 square kilometers is about the size of Costa Rica.

It will transfer it to its claws before feeding.

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.

Two gray wolves from Poland at the park 'Les Loups du Gévaudan', Saint-Léger-de-Peyre, France
The 'Bête du Gévaudan' - the Beast of Gevaudan - was a real wolf-like monster that prowled the Auvergne and South Dordogne areas of France during the years 1764 to 1767, killing about 100 people, often in bizarre circumstances.
The eastern gray squirrel is a bushy-tailed member of the rodent family. They have grayish-brown fur with paler fur on their undersides. The tail often has silvery-tipped hairs at the end. Eastern gray squirrels can grow 17 to 20 inches long. Florida is home to two other species of squirrels, the fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) and the southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans).
Eastern gray squirrels occur in woodland and urban areas, especially near oaks and hickories, and are active during the day, often feeding on the ground. They spend much of their lives in trees.
The eastern gray squirrel hoards food in numerous places for later recovery. They have the ability to recall the location of thousands of food caches. Preferred foods include bark, berries, seeds and acorns.
Breeding can occur up to twice a year. Nests are made in the forks of trees, but they will nest in attics when accessible, becoming a nuisance to many homeowners. Litter size averages one to four young.
Of the 94 species of wild mammals that are native to Florida, none are more frequently encountered than squirrels. Squirrels belong to the most successful and widespread order in the world, rodents. One of the main differences between squirrels and most other rodents is that squirrels have a rather large, bushy tail.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
