Little Bee-eater - a photo on Flickriver

Little Bee-eater

            Little Bee-eater of Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, Africa. These tiny birds are fairly common in their range, numbering in the millions, and we often saw them along the roadside. Their tiny size makes them a little tough to photograph but I managed a few I was happy with. The name Bee-eater is, not surprisingly, derived from the fact that they will eat bees and wasps along with other insects. The Bee-eater will beat the bee or wasp on a hard surface to first remove the stinger before eating it. These birds roost communally and we often saw them in pairs. September 15, 2016
