This was taken at Cuffie River Lodge in Tobago. This species is limited to Trinidad and Tobago and was split off from Blue-crowned Motmot within the past few years. The motmots would take off from some power lines that were about eye level from the balcony behind the lodge. .

Great BG to go along with a great bird.
