Patagonia sea lion pup (Otaria flavescens) having a nap time away from the colony. This one spent some time to scratch itself on the rocks before having a mid day nap in Cabo Polonio (Uruguay).
Black-naped orioles are bright yellow and black in color. They were named for the black mask that goes around their eyes to the nape, or the back of the neck. They also have black stripes on the wings and tail, and they have a red or pink beak.
212) Black-Naped Monarch
Black-Naped Monarch, Hypothymis azurea, Kelicap Ranting
The black-naped monarch breeds across tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. This species is usually found in thick forests and other well-wooded habitats. The black-naped monarch has short legs and sits very upright whilst perched prominently, like a shrike. It is insectivorous, often hunting by flycatching. When alarmed or alert, the nape feathers are raised into a pointed crest.They will join mixed-species foraging flocks and are active in the understory of the canopy. The breeding season is March to August and the nest is neat cup placed in a fork. The nest is built by the female while the male guards. The typical clutch is of three eggs with both parents incubate and feed the young which hatch after about 12 days.
The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a bird of the oriole family and is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within wide distribution range of the species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies. Unlike the 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.
Looks like Pascha has a cute smile on his face:-)
Sieht aus, als wenn Pascha ein süsses Lächeln im Gesicht hat:-)
One of a number of the wild coyotes that frequent this area. They're very tolerant of their human friends like me who just let them be and make their living on the rodent population. (you can see some squirrel mounds in the background.) This one was so relaxed while my friend and I watched, it just settled down for a nap here. I smile at the "eye contact" description when an animal looks in your general direction, but this time I'm pretty sure it really is **eye contact**.
You really want to give this handsome animal a couple of clicks to max res!
And if you wanted an update on the sad plight of the mangy animal with the raccoon, it met its fate out on the nearby highway a week or so ago.

A California Sea Lion taking an afternoon snooze on Santa Barbara Island.
Santa Barbara Island is the smallest island of the Channel Islands archipelago in Southern California and is within the Channel Island National Park. It's only about 640 acres (260 hectares). It is located about 38 miles (61 km) from the Palos Verdes Peninsula of Los Angeles County. There are no trees on the island (not even little ones). The island is very green with lots of yellow coreopsis flowers in the spring and early summer.
Our two dogs share a bed for a late morning nap. The schnauzer corgi cross is a puppy. The dachshund chihuahua mix on the back is 13 years old.
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.

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.
