Here's a sneak peak of my next Songbird ReMix set, "Bee-eaters of the World". The Rosy Bee-eater is a resident in Nigeria southward to Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo and Cabinda (northern Angola), and western and western-central Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is also regular migrant westward to western Ghana. It inhabits airspace above rainforests and mesic savanna woodlands, foraging around trees emergent from the canopy, in clearings and over broad rivers and adjacent wooded country. As its name suggests, it does eat bees however this bee-eater prefers flying ants, which make up 70% of its diet. It is the most aerial of all bee-eaters. Insects caught mainly in continuous wheeling flight, hawking both high and low over the ground, but also as a result of fast forays for some distance starting from an elevated perch, usually a treetop. Some insects are eaten aloft, and larger ones are carried back to a perch to be immobilized and devenomed by beating them against their perch. Also flying with the two Rosy Bee-eaters is the White-fronted Bee-eater. It is found in western Gabon, the northeastern portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Virunga National Park) and northwestern Kenya (Lake Turkana) southward to Angola, northern and eastern Botswana, and central and eastern South Africa (to Free State and KwaZulu-Natal). Its habitat includes broad-leaf and mixed woodlands along perennial rivers, dry watercourses in well-wooded country, eroded gullies, scrub-covered stony hillsides, and bushy pastures. In South Africa, it is associated with bee-attracting exotic trees such as eucalypts. Honeybees are 87% of its diet, but it also preys upon beetles, bugs, flies, dragonflies, damselflies, moths, butterflies, grasshoppers and cicadas. It hunts mainly from the lower levels of trees and tall shrubs in bushy grassland. It hawks with rapid dash out from perch and seizing or chasing insect, or makes slower, gliding flight down towards grass and low herbage and momentarily hovers to seize insect from it. An individual bird makes about 300 sallies a day, with an overall success rate varying between 50 to 70%. Both species have relatively stable populations and have a "Least Concern" rating on the endangerment scale.
