Broad-billed Motmot
Although it was not far away, this Broad-billed Motmot was perched quietly among vegetation (typical of members of the family) and it was by seeing the characteristic side-to-side movement of the tail that I located it. This individual was on the grounds of the Los Amigos Biological Station on the Rio Madre de Dios in the Amazon Basin in lowland southeastern Peru. [That spot also had the similar but larger Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii), which I did not manage to photograph.]
