American Black Duck

This large dabbling duck is very dark brown overall. Back and flank feathers lack paler margins, resulting in a less patterned appearance than most other female dabbling ducks.

Length: 48 cm Wingspan: 84 cm

American Crow

Length: 41 cm Wingspan: 107 cm

Barnacle Goose

This small goose is a rare visitor from Europe. Single birds in North America have long been presumed escapees, but there is increasing evidence that at least some are legitimate vagrants. The mostly white face contrasts with the otherwise black nape, neck, and breast. A dark line extends through the more...

Length: 58 cm Wingspan: 132 cm

Barred Owl

A large, dark-eyed owl without ear tufts. Adult has brown back with white bars and spots, pale buffy underparts with well-defined vertical brown streaks, round head, dark eyes, and yellow bill. Sexes are similar. Spotted Owl of Western North America has white spots on brown underparts. more...

A stocky, medium-sized, four-year gull. Relatively long yellow legs and long, straight-edged, yellow bill with black ring and red tip. Dark eye. Adult: White underparts; slaty-black upperparts.

Length: 45 cm Wingspan: 81 cm

Black Scoter

The smallest of the three scoter species, Black Scoters are recognized by their smaller bills and round foreheads. Males: Plumage is all black. The base of the bill is covered by an orange-yellow knob. Females: Dark brown with a small dark bill. Pale cheeks and throat contrast with dark crown and hin more...

Length: 43 cm Wingspan: 76 cm

Black Skimmer

A distinctive coastal bird of Eastern and Southern North America. Adult is tern-like, with long wings, short legs, and short neck. Back and wings are black, underparts white. Head is white with black cap and, in alternate plumage, black nape. Unique bill is long and relatively thick vertically, while more...

Length: 46 cm Wingspan: 112 cm

Black Vulture

Black overall. The skin on the bare head is gray and wrinkled, darker and smoother on young birds. The bill is dark with a pale tip. The legs and feet are pale gray.
