Momotidae :: Guatemala, Never Again!

The Momotidae or motmots are a family of tropical birds in the near passerine order Coraciiformes. These are medium-sized species found in urban and rural wooded areas of the neotropics. In the early morning and late afternoon, where several Motmots can be found near each other, they can be heard calling back and forth. These birds have colorful plumage and long, graduated tails. In most species, the barbs near the ends of the two longest (central) tail feathers are weak and fall off, leaving a length of bare shaft, thus creating the racket shape of the tail. In the past, however, based on inaccurate reports made by Charles William Beebe, it was believed that the Motmot shaped its tail by plucking part of the feather web to leave the racket.
