The Turquoise-browed Motmot is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico, 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.
The bird is approximately 34 cm long and weighs about 65 grams. It has a mostly green 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.
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. 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. 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.
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.
Location: Bacolod, Philippines ("Don's Secret Bird Spot")
The White-browed Crake (Porzana cinerea) is a species of bird in the Rallidae family. It occurs in Southeast Asia and Australia.
I'm effectively watching a narrow strip of land in Bacolod (about 20 ft by 3 ft) that's yielded so far 6 species in a 4 hour period. Hence, my "secret" little birding spot.

After 3 days of searching we finally managed to see one of the rarest birds to visit the UK, a Black-browed Albatross. It was about 800 yds out to sea but then flew inland and ended up gliding at head height right in front of us. We saw it later with a nesting Gannet colony. An incredible experience.
I believe this guy to be a "Red-browed Firetail?Finch" going by a bird book, I wanted to give the Flickr automated bird ID system a break :-)
Shot him at home in the scrub, they where darting about the scrub really quick so I did not get much of a chance to take each shot but when they where feeding they were still for just long enough to get a couple shots.
Seen on Anton Lakes: Haven't got a clear shot of the head but wing patterns and general colouring seem to indicate the yellow-browed warbler!
RSPB: (www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/bird-and-wildlife-guid...)
A small, green warbler similar in size to a goldcrest. The yellow 'eyebrow' is distinctive, as is the coal tit-like call. Yellow-browed warblers breed in Siberia and occur in the UK every year as they migrate south-westwards.
Overview
Latin name: Phylloscopus inornatus
Family: Warblers and allies (Sylviidae)
Where to see them:
Coastal trees and scrub, arriving on the east coast initially, though some birds do make it into south-west England.
When to see them:
From September to November; a few birds may attempt to spend winter in this country.
What they eat: Insects
Já foi teu aniversário, agora com 15 anos né chata?
Mas pra mim tu serás sempre a minha browzinha do cabelo cacheado do dente pequeno ;) haahah, coisas que só a gente entende? com certeza, só a gente sabe como foram esses 9 anos mas infelizmente ninguém sabe como serão os próximos e nem o próximo na verdade. Mas o que importa é que não vai mudar, e nem precisa mudar.
Aquela amizade de filme sabe, em que a amiga volta pra salvar a outra, a que a amiga faz a outra se tocar o quão especial ela é e fica do lado direto (literalmente , hanhan)
Brow, te amo muito ;*

Turquoise-browed Motmot seen near Puerto Morelos, Mexico. From the rich palate of colors of its plumage to that really unusual pair of tail feathers, this is one of those birds that stops you in your tracks when you see it. So what’s with those two long tail feathers and why the peculiar wagging motion? It turns out that they use them to signal a predator that it's been spotted and that it’s not worth its effort to try to catch them because the Motmot will have taken flight before it gets close enough to do the bird any harm. That’s very useful because a vital part of a bird’s daily existence is endlessly balancing the amount of energy it expends with the calories its able to consume. Letting a predator know that it’s been seen and therefore has lost the element of surprise minimizes the number of times a Motmot has to take flight to avoid an attack that was going to fail anyway. This leaves more fuel in its tank for other activities it needs to perform for the survival of the species, such as reproducing. And, in the case of the Motmot, reproduction is no simple matter. In the fall, during the rainy season, the male and female take turns digging a tunnel six feet long in the dirt. The following spring they’ll come back to the tunnel to lay their eggs. This approach has two advantages. First, the soil is softer and easier to dig during the fall and, second, when they return to lay their eggs months later the tunnel won’t be freshly dug and therefore less attractive to predators. Motmots are not only incredibly good looking, but pretty clever as well!
