Cat Nap...Purrrrrr!

There was a feeding frenzy with a couple hundred American Avocets at Merritt Island NWR. This group of avocets must have had plenty to eat, because looking like one-legged hunting decoys, they closed their eyes to rest/nap after dinner.
These avocets are still sporting a winter plumage. After the next molt, their head and neck will show a cinnamon color, and their legs will become a bluish color.

Wikipedia: The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies. Unlike the Indian golden oriole which only has a short and narrow eye-stripe, the black-naped oriole has the stripe broadening and joining at the back of the neck. Males and females are very similar although the wing lining of the female is more greenish. The bill is pink and is stouter than in the golden oriole.

Chalcothraupis ruficervix ruficervix -Prévost & Des Murs, 1842- (Golden-naped tanager / Tangara nuquirrufa)
The golden-naped tanager is found in South America from Colombia to Bolivia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Six subspecies are recognised.
Golden-naped tanagers have plumage similar to those of the metallic-green tanager, the swallow tanager and the blue-and-black tanager as adults of all three species are primarily blue with black facial masking, however, the golden-naped tanager is the only primarily blue tanager with a golden or reddish crown patch or nape.
“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.”

Wikipedia: The black-naped monarch or black-naped blue flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea) is a slim and agile passerine bird belonging to the family of monarch flycatchers found in southern and south-eastern Asia. They are sexually dimorphic, with the male having a distinctive black patch on the back of the head and a narrow black half collar ("necklace"), while the female is duller with olive brown wings and lacking the black markings on the head. They have a call that is similar to that of the Asian paradise flycatcher, and in tropical forest habitats, pairs may join mixed-species foraging flocks. Populations differ slightly in plumage color and sizes. The black-naped monarch breeds across tropical southern Asia from Iran and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. This species is usually found in thick forests and other well-wooded habitats.

Rusty-naped Pitta - Bi Doup Nui Ba National Park--Dak Ho,

Opportunity Naps Henry is a hard charging playful kitten, he wears out after a bit and sometimes just naps where he is, found in North Carolina.
The Chestnut-naped Antpitta is a typical ground-dwelling Grallaria, although it sings from a low perch, and which strongly prefers bamboo thickets in humid montane forest at 1900 to 3150 m. Its geographical range extends from north-central Colombia to northernmost Peru. As is typical of the Grallariidae, very little has been published to date concerning this species’ ecology, although the eggs have been described, and the Chestnut-naped Antpitta is presumably a fairly strict insectivore. Three species of the Chestnut-naped Antpitta are recognized and these differ principally in their crown colour and the intensity of the saturation to the underparts, although there are also some differences in their vocalizations. The basic plumage pattern, common to all three, is of gray underparts with a darker face, and rufous-brown upperparts, usually brightest and most rufescent over the crown and nape. doi.org/10.2173/bow.chnant1.01

I have only seen this one grey squirrel do this, but he or she seems to feel secure on this branch and has napped here multiple times over the last few years.😊

zzzzzz.... oh wait there's a squirrel running by!! ....The busy squirrel did catch his attention for a moment then back to sleep again. The sun slipped back beneath the clouds again after making a brief appearance to shine a little light on this sleepy owl.
In the forests of Southeast Asia, one may come across a flash of blue and a bright and beautiful high pitched whistling song, chances are you came across a Black-naped monarch. The male is a beautiful all blue with a black patch at the back of its head and a black collar. The female is a little less colorful with a blue head and brown-gray body. This photo of the male was taken in Kaeng Krachan, Thailand
White-naped Honeyeater, Melithreptus lunatus
≠==============≠
These birds could easily be my fav Honeyeater, if that position wasn't held by their Brown-headed cousins.
This was one of a family that were hunting insects along a creekline.
The Diva Naps chair throw was washed and dried and I put it on my extra chair until I could position it on my office chair, Priscilla Grace found it and has spent two days off and on sleeping there, it seems to be her escape from the rampaging kitten, shot in North Carolina.
