Bird time. . .

This is the Blue-Crowned Motmot. One of the larger birds that we see regularly down this way. The motmots come down fairly regularly in the morning when the guests are eating breakfast and are always a crowd pleaser, as they are larger than most of the birds and their tails swish back and forth, like a pendulum. They have long tails that split at the end with round feathers that look like miniature tennis racquets.
