Long-tailed Ground-Roller MAD SER (Urateformis chimaera)

This species is endemic to a very small area near sea level at the arid southwestern corner of Madagascar where I photographed it on the second day of searching for it in an area of spiny forest and thorn shrubs. The bird was in deep-shaded, dense shrubbery about 18 m away when it paused to raise its tail. I used flash with a "Better Beamer" to illuminate the bird.
