No owl to post today, but this lovely little bird sure does sound like one. This is the rufous motmot and we had the pleasure of meeting one another in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Take a listen to the call below. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/100th of a second (-1/3 stop ev) 13 Rufous Capped Motmot
Very pretty bird love the sound it’s a great idea recording the bird’s call. I’ve decided to keep it so that whenever I feel low I will listen to this to keep my spirit up or just relaxing. Thank you heaps for sharing.

Beautiful photo! Love the bird call! Thank you!
Photo and sound, great combo…brings it to life and puts you there in the moment.
It really looks like this guy is hand-painted (but a little dripped on his belly).
