Turquoise-browed Motmot

Eumomota superciliosa

Least Concern

The Turquoise-browed Motmot is a colorful forest bird of dry forests and scrub from southeastern Mexico to Costa Rica. It often sits quietly on shaded perches, then sallies for insects, small lizards, and fruit, using its long tail and steady posture as part of its distinctive motmot profile. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact forest, woodland, and nesting sites remain important locally.
