Lesson's Motmot

These guys are easy to hear as they deliver their two-note call in a subdued tone from the tops of tree canopies. They seem to fly about languidly, but they can be hard to lay eyes on because of dense foliage.

 

I was able to photograph this bird three separate times, but all shots had limited light. In another, the bird was perched a bit too high.

 

I wish this shot were brighter, but it does show a sense of the dense tropical forest.
