    Default Does anyone know the name of this bird?

    I took this shot in Orlando FL after it rained.

    I looked everywhere for a sign to say what kind of bird this was but found none.

    Does anyone know what kind of bird this is?

    I have tried googling to find the name but have been unsuccessful.

    (I accidently posted this in the still objects thread - I apologize!)

    Thx
    wendy

    Greg posted a link a few weeks back for a good bird identification site: WhatBird | identify birds | bird identification guide | north america. It includes several methods of searching. Its main problem seems to be that it's a work in progress at the moment.

    I admit, though, I ended up googling colors and parts, because I only had your photo to work from and I wasn't getting anything from the site. I came up with a blue-bellied roller.

    It's a pretty bird. And that is a great shot of it PersianBlue! Was it in a zoo or aviary? If it is a blue-bellied roller it is a long way from home.
