We took a little hike today up across the road from Selva Verde Lodge to the area where we had stayed in 2016 and were lucky enough to see a pair of Broad-billed Motmots standing guard of the trail. Costa Rica #birding

A bird with an S-shaped neck, seen in profile against rippling water. The body and visible side of the neck are gray. Long plumes dangle from the lower neck. The head is black and white, with a yellow eye. The beak is long and pointed.

A UK kingfisher is a small, stocky bird, similar in size to a house sparrow or robin, but with a large head and a long, dagger-like beak. It is often described in terms of its sound and movement, as its bright colouration, while striking, can be hard to spot in the dappled light by the water. 

The difference between the Male & Female Kingfisher is on the beak with the male having an all-black beak but the female has an orange streak on the lower bill.


Size and Shape: It is a compact bird, about 16-17 cm (around 6-7 inches) in length. If a physical model were available, it would feel small and robust, with a disproportionately large head and a long, pointed bill designed for fishing. Its tail is very short, and its legs are small with orange or reddish feet.

Colouration (High Contrast/Vibrancy): The bird has a high-contrast pattern. Its back and tail are a bright, electric or metallic blue, while its underparts (chest and belly) are a rich, rusty orange or copper. It has a white patch on its throat and a white spot on the side of its neck.

Flight: Its flight is rapid, direct, and low over the water's surface, a "flash of metallic blue" that is over in a blink.
Hunting: It typically sits very still and patiently on a low-hanging branch or post over the water, watching for fish. It then suddenly dives headfirst into the water with a quick splash and pops back up to its perch almost instantly.

Very cute bird with buffy belly, grey back, white cheeks and black chin and cap is perched on the edge of a shallow bird bath looking over its right shoulder. There are a few small green and yellow leaves hanging behind and a nice golden glow.
