Black-throated Mango
A large, striking hummingbird of tropical forests from southern Mexico to Argentina, black-throated mangos have dramatic sexual dimorphism — males display glittering black throat and breast with violet and green flanks and a bold purple tail, while females are white below with a central black stripe. Inhabiting forest edges, clearings, and gardens, they aggressively defend flowering trees. Males perform spectacular aerial display flights at treetop height. Listed as Least Concern across their broad neotropical range.
Buellia ocellata is a crustose lichen with a pale grey to white areolate thallus bearing dark lecideine apothecia surrounded by a paler excipular ring. It inhabits exposed bark of old deciduous trees and smooth-barked conifers in temperate European woodlands. This lichen is sensitive to air quality changes and associated with veteran trees in ancient woodland.
