Glorious Colors <br /> Phinda Game Reserve, South Africa<br /> The Lilac Breasted Roller is my favorite African bird subject. Its place as the National Bird of Botswana is truly deserved. I have found that their habit of perching on the edge of a branch provides great backdrops for still photos. Of course their brilliant coloring intensifies their photogenic attributes.
