Turquoise-browed Motmot From The Front

Ek Balam, Yucatan, Mexico

Known to the Maya as Toh
the Turquoise-browed Motmot (“Eumomota superciliosa”)
is associated with Mayan archeological sites

In the Yucatan, it is called the "pájaro reloj" or "clock bird"
based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum
