I put the brand new show-stopper of a collar on Mack since Ella just wore it to gag on grass. Mack looked darling but it's a dark, rainy morning and I had to bump the ISO way, way, way up and slow the shutter speed. So lots of grainy noise but Mack looks cuter napping in the new collar than poor Ellie Belly did.
Happy Caturday: Basic Instincts
The red-naped ibis also known as the Indian black ibis or black ibis is a species of ibis found in the plains of the Indian Subcontinent. Unlike other ibises in the region it is not very dependent on water and is often found in dry fields a good distance away from water.
A medium-sized ibis with a dark body, often showing a bluish-green sheen. The crown and nape are covered in bright red warts. A white patch is usually visible near the shoulder of the wing. The bill is long and downcurved. This species can be confused with the similar-looking Glossy Ibis, but Glossy Ibis is smaller and lacks the red warts and white shoulder patch. In flight, the legs of Red-naped Ibis don’t extend beyond the tail, unlike in Glossy Ibis. Unlike most other ibis, Red-naped favors drier habitats, such as rye fields. It is usually found singly or in loose groups.
These Pelicans and Cormorants make for a striking contrast in colors as they nap on this piece of driftwood. Happy Wing Wednesday.
231) Red-Naped Trogon
Red-Naped Trogon, Harpactes kasumba, Kasumba Tengkuk Merah
This bird itself was first described in 1822 by Sir Stamford Raffles, a military and British naturalist (1781-1826) best known for having founded Singapore in 1817. One of 7 Trogons that can be found in Malaysia. The bird is mainly insectivorous, feasting on arthropods with a preference for stick insects and spiders. This regime is embellished with small lizards, fruits and seeds. Harpactes kasumba are generally inactive outside of their regular feeding patterns. Because of this, birdwatchers and biologists have noted that apart from their general beauty, they are notorious for their lack of other immediately engaging qualities.Their lack of activity has been considered as a defence against predation. In association with other Trogonidae species, the Harpactes kasumba have been reported to shift along branches to keep their dull coloured backs turned towards observers, while their heads, which can rotate at 180 degrees like owls, to keep watch on any potential predators. They are preyed upon by hawks and predatory mammals. The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as rare in Thailand, fairly common in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, rather scarce in Sarawak and uncommon in Singapore, Indonesia, Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei. The current population trend shows a decline in the number of Harpactes kasumba at a moderately rapid rate, owing to habitat loss and degradation throughout its distribution range.
Kasumba yang ini terdapat di kawasan hutan tanah rendah, lazimnya yang berada jauh dari penempatan manusia. Seperti Kasumba lain, burung ini sukar dilihat kerana penyamarannya dan sifatnya yang bertenggek tanpa bergerak untuk jangkamasa lama di pokok pokok tinggi. Ia memburu serangga dan reptilia kecil, juga sekali sekala buah buah hutan.

The purple-naped spiderhunter or purple-naped sunbird (Kurochkinegramma hypogrammicum) is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is the only species in the genus Kurochkinegramma. It is found in Southeast Asia from Myanmar to Sumatra and Borneo. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
A study published in 2011 appeared to show that the purple-naped spiderhunter was phylogenetically nested within the genus Arachnothera.[2] A subsequent 2017 study, conducted by some of the same authors and using additional sequence data, found that the purple-naped spiderhunter occupied a basal position to Arachnothera.[3] It was formerly placed in the genus Hypogramma until it was realised that the name was preoccupied within Lepidoptera.[4][5][6]

Let's do a few verticals, shall we? I have 11 of them, from this day.
Red-naped sapscuker on MacQueen Lake Road, north of Kamloops, BC. What I like about the photo (aside from its such a cool bird to see close up!), is that it captures the "treatment" (liitle holes) the sapsucker is applying to the tree -possibly to creatte a good environment to attrack insects that it will later come back and eat,
What is better than one cool looking tanager? Two!
Golden-naped Tanager
Small, stunning tanager mostly turquoise blue with a buffy vent. Look for black face and small buffy-orange patch on rear crown. Sexes alike. Usually found in pairs, often following a mixed-species flock in the canopy. An Andean species, found in subtropical forests, edges, and gardens. Visits fruit feeders.

Beo (wolf) takes an afternoon nap.
Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary
Gwinnett County (Lilburn), Georgia, USA.
11 May 2024.
***************
▶ "Gray wolves (Canis lupus) used to be found throughout the Arctic, through southern Mexico, northern Africa, and southern Asia, but due to habitat destruction and various other factors, they are now found only in a few areas of the contiguous US, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, and Eurasia. They are one of the most wide-ranging land animals living in a variety of habitats from the tundra, prairie, and even arid landscapes.
Our two wolves came to us from a facility in Minnesota. Beo is the black male wolf. He was born on April 25th, 2023. Aurora is the lighter-colored female and was born on April 29th, 2023. They arrived at Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary when they were about six weeks old and introduced to their exhibit full-time in August of 2023, when they were about four months old.
Beo and Aurora are technically Alaskan Tundra wolves (Canis lupus tundrarum), a subspecies of gray wolves considered endangered."
