White-naped Honeyeater, Melithreptus lunatus
≠===================≠
The family was hunting insects from the top of the water in a dam. Wet feathers were inevitable.
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).

I couldn't work out if this bird was raiding the spider web for a snack or collecting nest building materials.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Let's do a few verticals, shall we? I have 11 of them, from this day.
Young elk, settled into the snow for a nap.
I think it's a fine line for photographers to take photos without interfering with wild animals and affecting their behavior. This was taken at an equivalent focal length of 450 mm and cropped and I like to move slowly, take a few photos and be on my way. You wouldn't want to interfere with a youngster's nap!
Purple-naped Lory (Lorius domicella).
Both adults in general red; black forehead and lores to occiput, with purple patch bordering from behind; upper breast has yellow band which varies from bird to bird; purple/blue thighs; green wings; yellow underwing-band; red tail, tipped with darker brown/red. Bill orange. Eye ring dark grey. Eye orange/red.
A “restricted-range” species. Apparently has a naturally low population; is uncommon to rare on Seram, with no recent reports from Ambon or Buru. Ongoing deforestation from logging, oil drilling and hydroelectric power plants and intensive trapping are suspected to be causing rapid declines.
