American Pygmy Kingfisher


Panama Bird Photos

Broad-billed Motmot
(Electron platyrhynchum)
3/22/04 - Canopy Tower, Panama. Motmots have distinctive "raquets" at the ends of their two central tail feathers. These are sometimes worn off (you can see this individual is missing one), especially during nesting season. The raquet tips are produced by preening -- they don't grow that way!

American Pygmy Kingfisher
(Chloroceryle aenea)
3/22/04 - Mangrove forest near Colon. This little fellow was so tiny it reminded me of a hummingbird! Quite difficult to spot, lost in the dense tangle of mangrove roots.
