Madagascar bee-eater        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Several species of colorful, active bee-eaters occur in east Africa.   This species is especially slim and graceful; as its name implies it often migrates to the island of Madagascar.   This bird was photographed Meru National Park in north-central Kenya.
