We discovered this blue crowned mot mot (momotus momota) nesting in a tunnel in the riverbank. These are large birds, measuring between 38 - 48cm, but their brown and green colouring makes them difficult to spot when perched on a branch in the trees. Blue crowned mot mots eat a range of different foods, including small creatures such as insects and lizards, as well as fruits.
