Turquoise browed Motmot
The Motmots are a bird species called Toh in the Maya language. These near-passerine birds of the Momotidae family are in the order of Coraciiformes. You can find these motmots in woodlands and neotropical forests. Both spices have beautiful and colorful plumage (see bellow photos), long racket like tip tails, and heavy bill; they love to move their tail in a waging back and forth motion when they detect predators. Toh birds, as the Maya call them, eat small pray such as insects, lizards, and fruit. These species enjoy forming large bird colonies and nest in bank tunnels and limestone caves laying about four eggs; with both parents caring for the young.
