neilandsharonDescription
I've never seen or heard of a nearly all black kingfisher. Is it juvenile? A known variant? A different species?

Three shots include: (1) a younger larvae, (2) a larvae at metamorphosis, and (3) a metamorphosed adult. Metamorphosed adults are relatively uncommon in the population. The cave is managed by the Nature Conservancy and these images were taken during a survey of the salamander population. The species is so far recognized as a single site endemic.

Missing LocationDescription
Poor iPhone photo taken to document proper location (via geotag'd photo). I understand the quality of the photo is not adequate to identify the species but this was an easy ID in the field given huge size and dorsal fin location/shape. I have plenty of experience with Gulf of Maine cetaceans to know a Fin, plus the naturalist on board (Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company - I don't recall who it was today, possibly Zach Klyver) ID'd this as well.
