Cinnamon-chested bee-eater        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The cinnamon-chested bee-eater is a common bird in mountain forests in east Africa.   It closely resembles the smaller little bee-eater, which is typically found in lower, more arid areas.   This bird was photographed in a small resort on the slopes of Mount Kenya.
