Habitat: Southwest-central Angola to northeast Tanzania and south through Mosambique. Southern Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Sparsely distributed in dry, open woodland.
Length: 16 inches.
Migration: Non-migrant.
Nest: An unlined cavity in a tree trunk or branch.
Voice: Loud, very harsh repeated "cha" or "tchek". An explosive screeching in rolling display flight.
Notes: Rollers are stocky treetop birds that have large heads, hooked beaks and short legs. Their colors tend to be beautiful shades of blue, purple, and russet especially the spread wings and tail. Rollers are named for the aerial "rolling" during courtships and territorial display.
The racket-tailed roller eats a diet of insects, such as flying ants and termites, grasshoppers, and crickets as well as centipedes and scorpions.
Rollers occur singly or in pairs, groups of 6-7 are sometimes seen. They scan the ground from a perch then swooop down to the ground to catch and eat prey.

Here I am making sounds/noises/music on my wife's piano. She is not here at the moment. If a musician isn't present to hear me play on the piano, does it make music?

The early species were all late this year but the second wave of emergences is right on time which means a lot of overlapping species at this point in time at Drynan Tract.
For this photo, I used my tennis racket, positioned a few tennis balls in the background, and also used a tennis court as my background.
Because tennis is one of my newer hobbies, it is something that most people don't know about me, and it is also something that I don't talk about a lot. Therefore it isn't something people can "see" about me.
I had this idea planned out beforehand. When I went to go play tennis, I dropped my racket and took a picture while it was falling. I think that the materials definitely show the idea of "tennis".
This young woman seems to taunt any physical boundaries when she prepares herself for delivering the final smash. Her eyes are fixed on the incoming shuttle and her arm pulls the racket into position; ready for that one decisive strike.
If they didn't make an occasional racket, they'd be almost impossible to spot.
