"Racquet-tailed Roller"
Uploaded: February 03, 2012
Distinctive tail streamers and bright colors make this loud, little bird easy to find. Look for it perched on branches in breaks in vegetation. They are native to Central Africa.

I'd love to follow you around to shoot wildlife. I'd think of it as some sort of safari. Love the colours on this little guy. #9968979Jeffrey R. Bange February 07, 2012
