Racket-tailed Roller (Coracias spatulatus)

"Cutie! Love his tail plumes"

Found in Southeast Africa, this roller is similar to other members of its genus in most manners. They hunt from perches, swooping down to grab invertebrates before returning to their perch to watch anew. They nest in cavities, often created by woodpeckers or barbets. The defining feature of this species is their tail, sporting two club-like plumes that extend past their typical tail feathers.
