Here's another image from Chobe, Botswana taken last August. This Bee Eater preened for us as we photographed it from our safari vehicle.

Gorgeous bird and very well photographed, Nate. I love the mid preen condition of the plumage.

Awesome photo of this beauty Nate

Great head turn and a wonderful fluffed up pose. The little leaf sprig is cool too.

Sweet One!!!

A beuatiful bird well captured Nate. I like the ruffled feathers and the head turn. I'm not so keen on the leaves to the right of the bird though.

What a cool looking bird, Nate, and nice head turn. Only minor suggestion: you could soften down the slight halo on the bill just a bit.

Very nice shot Nate. I like the backward head turn.
