Historia Natural
Reproducción
Su nido consiste en una estructura globular o en forma de horno con entrada lateral, encajada entre musgos y bromelias y otras epÃfitas, sobre árboles en un claro del bosque montano, a una altura de 11 a 30 m. Ponen por lo menos 3 huevos. Se reproducen de febrero a junio. Ponen 2 nidadas. Alimentan a los pichones mediante regurgitación.
Alimentación
Se alimentan sobre todo de frutos de matapalos (Gaiodendron, Psittacanthus ), bayas de Ericaceae, Araceae y otras epÃfitas e higos. Se agachan para atisbar debajo de las ramas en busca de insectos y arañas.
Comportamiento
Durante gran parte del año viajan en bandadas hasta de 12 individuos que luego se separan en parejas para criar.
Ciclo anual
Efectúan migraciones altitudinales.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Frecuentan el dosel y los bordes de los bosques montanos muy húmedos con abundantes epÃfitas, y los potreros con árboles dispersos y áreas adyacentes parcialmente despejados; en ocasiones desciende a las zonas de crecimiento secundario.
Distribución
Es una especie residente común en las montañas a lo largo de ambas vertientes. Se localiza desde el nivel superior de la existencia de árboles en descenso hasta los 900 m. localmente en el lado del Caribe, y hasta los 1500 m. en el PacÃfico. Puede descender mucho más, sobre todo en el lado del Caribe, durante la estación lluviosa, cuando los frutos escasean en las partes más altas.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se encuentran en Costa Rica y el oeste de Panamá.

The turquoise-browed motmot (Eumomota superciliosa) is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family, Momotidae. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico (mostly the Yucatán Peninsula), to Costa Rica, where it is common and not considered threatened. It lives in fairly open habitats such as forest edge, gallery forest and scrubland. It is more conspicuous than other motmots, often perching in the open on wires and fences. From these perches it scans for prey, such as insects and small reptiles. White eggs (3–6) are laid in a long tunnel nest in an earth bank or sometimes in a quarry or fresh-water well. Its name originates from the turquoise color of its brow.
Turquoise-browed motmot in Costa Rican Pacific dry forest
The bird is approximately 34 cm (13 in) long and weighs about 65 g (2.3 oz). It has a mostly green-blue body with a rufous back and belly. There is a bright blue stripe above the eye and a blue-bordered black patch on the throat. The flight feathers and upperside of the tail are blue. The tips of the tail feathers are shaped like rackets and the bare feather shafts are longer than in other motmots. Although it is often said that motmots pluck the barbs off their tail to create the racketed shape, this is not true; the barbs are weakly attached and fall off due to abrasion with substrates and with routine preening.[2]
Unlike most bird species, where only males express elaborate traits, the turquoise-browed motmot expresses the extraordinary racketed tail in both sexes. Research indicates that the tail has evolved to function differently for the sexes. Males apparently use their tail as a sexual signal, as males with longer tails have greater pairing success and reproductive success.[3] In addition to this function, the tail is used by both sexes in a wag-display, whereby the tail is moved back-and-forth in a pendulous fashion.[4] The wag-display is performed in a context unrelated to mating: both sexes perform the wag-display in the presence of a predator, and the display is thought to confer naturally selected benefits by communicating to the predator that it has been seen and that pursuit will not result in capture. This form of interspecific communication is referred to as a pursuit-deterrent signal.[5]
The call is nasal, croaking and far-carrying.
The turquoise-browed motmot is a well-known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua. It has acquired a number of local names including guardabarranco ("ravine-guard") in Nicaragua, torogoz in El Salvador (based on its call) and pájaro reloj ("clock bird") in the Yucatán, based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum. In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far-less flattering pájaro bobo ("foolish bird"), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away.
The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.
It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.
