The image above of a "lilac-throated" roller, the lilac--breasted subspecies lorti, was taken in the northern corridor of the Serengeti in February 2011, courtesy of Pam Henline; the southern end of its range normally is northern Kenya. The enlargements include 2 views of this bird as well as a mating pair and a fledgling; note that chicks and fledglings have a bright yellow-orange eye-ring (slideshow #17; enlargement #3) which is lost in older birds.
