Look Away
This photo is hot! Share it!
This is a Racquet-Tailed Roller that I saw at the Jacksonville Zoo. Here is a link to the Zoo's info on the bird: http://www.jaxzoo.org/animals/biofacts/RacquetTailedRoller.asp
Apparently it is native to the regions of : S. Angola, S.E. Zaire and through Zimbabwe to N.E. South Africa. I was lucky enough to be able to see it in Florida. :)
I took several shots of this bird in action and was fortunate that it chose to pose for me at this moment. I do love the colors.

I'm not sure, but it MIGHT be a young bee-eater. Hard to tell since I'm no expert. Beautiful though!
