I couldn't resist posting one of my favourite, albeit, common species, the Black-capped Chickadee- New Brunswick's provincial bird. Not a completely black and white species but Daniel mentioned that they qualify. Although this is a July theme, chickadees look their best in their Basic, winter plumage, so I offer one up from February. They are amazing birds when you think they can easily withstand a 60°+ C range of temperature from summer to winter.
For this image I cropped from the all sides a little, removed a flash catchlight from the eye, ran NR on BG and sharpened.
