* Broad-billed Motmot, Electron platyrhynchum Both inhabit humid evergreen tropical forest. Both occur in Central America, and the Broad-billed Motmot occurs in a large region of South America as well. They are distinguished from other motmots by their much wider bills. The rackets on their tails are less dramatic than those of many other motmot species and may be absent. The species are very similar except in adult plumage (but the adult Keel-billed resembles the juvenile Broad-billed). More

These include the broad-billed motmot (Electron platyrhynchum), keel-billed motmot (E. carinatum), rufous motmot (Baryphthengus martii), rufous-capped motmot (B. ruficapillus), russet-crowned motmot (Momotus mexicanus), blue-crowned motmot (M. motmota), and highland motmot (M. aequatorialis). The rufous-capped motmot, though superficially similar to other species, lacks a racquet-tipped tail, as do some populations of broad-billed and rufous motmots. This suggests relatively recent divergence in these closely related genera. More

same Broad-billed Motmot as at top of page). Although the pendulum-like movement of the tail has long been noted, no one seems to know the precise purpose of the racquets (Snow 2001). Three motmots have 'normal' central rectrices without weaker spots, and these do not form racquets. Blue-throated Motmot (above center) is an elusive motmot in the montane forests of northern Central America, and is much more often heard than seen. More

of the broad-billed motmot is a louder, resonant "honk". Motmots are not very active and often go undetected. The tail often pendulates, sometimes jerkily. They are inactive at night, active during twilight at dawn and dusk. Calling is most active during early morning light. Some short-distance migration patterns are probable. For example, turquoise-browed motmots are often absent from breeding grounds for most of February, but return in March. More
