Note for Haloscan Users: Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted "too rapidly" by the same host. I don't know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I'm sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh....
I've got two submissions. First is my standard Friday Rat Blogging: Kanga and Zoe chill out together:

Second is the Bunny Living In Our Front Yard:

Among this week's linked news stories in Birds in the News, issue 28, is a photo of a rare albino turkey vulture, Cathartes aura, as well as pictures of the lovely European robin, Erithacus rubecula, a pair of highly endangered Malaysian milky storks, Mycteria cinerea, and the tawny owl, Strix aluco, commonly found in Great Britain.
