Here’s another of the four species of motmot that I photographed on this most recent trip to Panama. A few weeks ago I posted the tody motmot. This is the broad-billed motmot. You can see the classic racket-tip of the tail. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/320th of a second

What a stunning bird. Nicely captured, Sean! Thanks for bringing another exotic creature to our attention.
A stunner.
oh what stunning pic.
Beautiful, what were the aperture, and exposure time?
Hi John, I was at f/4 at 1/320th of a second.
Would like to see him outside my window
Not quite far south enough.
Colors are gorgeous am I seeing right he’s got a couple feathers hanging from his tail if so amazing never seen anything like that before great shot
Thanks Karen. Yes, those racket-like tail tips are characteristic of most species of motmot.
What a lovely bird! What beautiful colors and look at those tail feathers! This bird would certainly attract me! 🙂
Thanks Rachel. I do love the motmots. And the trogons. And the toucans.
