Black-naped orioles can be found in South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore.
They are the only orioles in Singapore.9 There are, however, two subspecies, though they are virtually indistinguishable in the field. The migratory population breeds in Indo-china and migrates into the north of the Malay Peninsula after the winter season. The residential population, which is a well-established species in Singapore, were a result of an invasion from Indonesia as well as escape of caged birds in the 1920s.
The black-naped oriole can be seen in green spaces such as parks and gardens and at the edge of forests. It is one of the most common bird species in Singapore and consistently makes the top 10 in the annual Singapore Bird Census.
Mother and baby loon. Baby is getting a bit large for climbing on mother's back. I watched him grow over the week while I was on vacation at the lake in Minnesota. By the end of the week he was diving underwater and coming up twenty feet away from his sibling. And his mother seemed a little nervous about keeping them together.
"Loons build their nests close to the water, preferring sites that are completely surrounded by water. They may use the same site from year to year. Loons will use a variety of materials found nearby to build their nests including pine tree needles, leaves, grass, moss, and sometimes clumps of mud. Both the male and female help with nest building and incubation, which usually lasts 26–31 days. If the eggs are lost, the pair may re-nest, often in the same general location.
Usually one or two eggs are laid in June. Loon chicks are precocial, able to swim right away, but are often seen riding on their parents' back. This behavior allows the chicks to rest, conserve heat, and avoid predators such as large carnivorous fish, snapping turtles, gulls, eagles, and crows. After a day or two, chicks cease returning to the nest but remain in their parents' company.
Chicks remain with and are fed exclusively by their parents for about eight weeks. After eight weeks, chicks will begin to dive for some of their own food. By 11 or 12 weeks of age, chicks are able to gather almost all of their own food and may be able to fly.
A pair may mate for life, although banding studies have shown that loons will sometimes switch mates after a failed nesting attempt and even between nesting attempts in the same season.[3] Male loons appear more faithful to breeding territories than to mates.[4]"
I have a favorite spot along the Thames River where I shoot flyby's of ducks and geese. Anyhow for several days I have been feeding this Mother Mallard and young chick. They easily take up close residence and preen or take a nap which gives me the opportunity to aim my camera and take it all in.Oh yes must mention about the baby ,he or she tucks their beak under their small stub of a wing. It is just like Mom as you can see with her beak tucked under her wing. This is part of his or her future development.
Have a great day to all you special Flickr friends !

72/365 … kinda an image for a Sunday afternoon … our cat, Hamish, finding another 5 minutes for a nap on the stairs … always helped by a bit of gentle light?? :-) xx
The lady beetle was having a nice afternoon nap until I came along poking my big obtrusive lens into her secret napping spot. She came out, said hello, and returned to her burrow and nap.
The lady beetle is an Asian, 7-spotted (C7) beetle (Coccinella septempunctata). The floral host is the umbel of Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota).
Nap time!!

When feeding in the outer foliage of the tallest eucalypts, the White-naped Honeyeater may sometimes be detected only by its characteristic shersh-shersh-shersh call. They mostly pecks tiny invertebrates from the foliage and the bark, though they also occasionally probe flowers with their bills to extract nectar. A migratory species, the White-naped Honeyeater sometimes forms flocks of hundreds or even thousands of birds when on the move, and often migrates with flocks of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, flying just above the treetops as they move through an area.

Now that she's older she sleeps a lot more than she used to, so getting photos of her isn't as easy as it once was.
Western Sandpiper - Esquimalt Lagoon, Colwood BC.
I had two surprises this day last summer. I had set myself up sitting near the waters edge hoping for a group of sandpipers to come a little closer. Was set-up with my 400 plus a 1.4X TC. They came really close - TOO close! I then VERY slowly removed my teleconverter somehow without spooking them.
They came closer. Then came the second surprise... barely 6 to 8 feet away from me a few elected to have a little nap! Wow! Never before or since have I been this close to the little guys. A great experience. :)
Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis)
This Hobby has become an almost permanent resident of the Powell Drive Park over the last week. This morning it was having a nap. By the looks of the distended crop it had eaten a fine breakfast.
