Broad-billed Motmot
Broad-billed Motmot (Electron platyrhynchum), Arenal observatory lodge, Costa Rica. Fairly common throughout its range, Broad-billed Motmot inhabits humid forest in foothills and lowlands. This species generally stays in the mid levels of primary forests, often in relatively open areas. Most often encountered as singles or in pairs, birds sit quietly between sallying forays for insects and other small animals. Not globally threatened. Fairly common in some areas, but serious decline reported in W Ecuador, and other populations have undoubtedly decreased in areas suffering extensive deforestation. Brazilian population apparently rather locally distributed (Birds of the world).
