Amidst the pages of history and art, the allure transcends time. From the enigmatic Raven (Corvus corax), whose ominous presence graced the works of John James Audubon in the early 19th century, to the Great Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) depicted in Audubon's manuscripts of 1810-17. The Fuliginous Petrel, now known as the White-chinned Petrel, and the White, Vented Crow, later identified as the Pied Currawong, both captured in watercolors around 1789-90, further illustrate the intrigue of this dark hue. Black plumage continues to captivate us in modern times, as seen in the elegant Black Swans gliding through Elder Park's River Torrens, reflecting the Adelaide Convention Centre. The Carrion Crow and Shag, both in their adult breeding plumage, add to the diverse tapestry of black-feathered creatures gracing our natural world.
