Trogon & Motmot

Two tropical specialties that I cannot let go without sharing a few photos.

First, the Amazonian White-tailed Trogon. - I watched a pair on several occasions feeding on mistletoe berries in a forest clearing.




Blue-crowned Motmot - Shy and uncommon, the resident motmot pair was one of the first birds to visit the feeders in the morning. In the same vicinity where I watched the trogon, I also saw the motmot pair perched in the subcanopy . Note the "rackets" on the tail feathers.
