Eumomota superciliosa (Sandbach 1837)

Turquoise-browed motmots are generally quiet, with exception to the mating season. During this time, using a loud, deep, and gruff voice the adults regularly give a drawn-out cawaalk, or a cawak cawak, in succession. In dismay they may give off low throaty sounds. The adults have also been heard giving off a wha wha sound, while the other adult feeds the young. Nestlings make a weak, hoarse peeping sound in response to their parents and when disturbed. As they grow older it turns into a more throaty noise that mimics that of their parents.

The nestlings will make a cheep sound when begging for food, which will last until they are 12 to 15 days old. Another begging call is snore, this replaces the cheep, it is also used during aggressive interactions with nest mates and they use it until after they are fledged. Once the birds are at least 22 days old they began to call K’wa-rr, which is louder than the other calls and not used while begging. This is thought to be an immature version of the fledgling call k’wahoo.

There have been 5 distinct post-fledgling vocalizations recorded. Chirr is a contact note, and may serve as a locator to the parents. A loud K’wahoo is given by chicks 30 to 45 days old when hungry. It could also function as a location call to parents. Kawukawuk is a loud call given commonly in the early morning and late evening, and intermittently throughout the day, that occurred at 40 days old. Once started, the other birds would join in calling it, indicating that it may be an alarm signal. Honk is a common mild alarm note indicating when there is a disturbance near the nest. It begins at around 38 days and continues into adulthood. Wuk, tok, and tok-ta-wuk were given as a strong alarm.

During aggressive interactions it is common for turquoise-browed motmots to flatten down their crown feathers and spread and display their turquoise brow feathers, in extreme circumstances the brow feathers may reach across the top of their head. Turquoise-browed motmots also utilize a tail-wagging maneuver in the presence of predators that likely aims to intimidate and scare away the intruder.

Visual communication is likely an important aspect of sexual selection for turquoise-browed motmots. It is hypothesized that tail feather length in males corresponds to fitness and influences mate selection by females.

Like all birds, turquoise-browed motmots perceive their environment through visual, auditory, tactile and chemical stimuli.

Communication Channels: visual ; acoustic

Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical

According to the IUCN turquoise-browed motmots are of least concern due to their extensive geographic range and stable population size. They are fairly common and not considered threatened.

CITES: no special status

IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern

Turquoise-browed motmots have no known negative effects on humans.

The unique tail feathers and coloration of this species have intrigued many, and are sought out by birders, naturalists, photographers, cinematographers, and other visitors, providing eco-tourism revenue. Turquoise-browed motmots are the national bird of El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Positive Impacts: ecotourism

Turquoise-browed motmots are secondary and tertiary consumers, omnivorous and fairly common, therefore they may help control insect species. They aid in seed dispersion of the rose woodson (Stemmadenia donnell-smithii), holywood (Guaiacum sanctum), and other fruit bearing trees in their diet. They provide sustenance to the white-nose coati (Nasua narica), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), and a variety of birds of prey. After the motmots are through using their burrows, rough-winged swallows (Stelgidopteryx serripennis) may build their nests in them.

Ecosystem Impact: disperses seeds

Mutualist Species:

• Rose woodson (Stemmadenia donnell-smithii)
• Holywood (Guaiacum sanctum)

Turquoise-browed motmots have a broad diet, consuming an assortment of insects including caterpillars, butterflies, and beetles along with worms, spiders, and lizards. Their curved bill, along with their keen sense of sight allows them to plunge down and snatch their prey abruptly, either from the vegetation or out of mid air. Along the outer third of their beak both mandibles are equipped with finely serrated edges, giving them a better grip on their prey. They stay perched motionlessly on tree branches until they see a prey item, then they strike. Without landing, they swiftly catch their prey then take it directly back to their original perching site or burrow, where it is knocked senseless before it is consumed. When feeding their young lizards, the adults will often peck off the head in order for the soft innards to be pushed through the neck.

Animal Foods: reptiles; insects; terrestrial worms

Plant Foods: seeds, grains, and nuts; fruit

Primary Diet: carnivore (Insectivore )

Turquoise-browed motmots (Eumomota superciliosa) are commonly distributed throughout Central America from southern Mexico in the north, to northwest Costa Rica in the south. Along the Caribbean they are most prevalent in the Yucatan Peninsula and the mountain-rimmed valleys of northwest Guatemala and Honduras. Near the Pacific they frequent the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica.

Biogeographic Regions: neotropical (Native )

Feral cats and dogs, white-nose coati (Nasua narica), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteu), coatimundis (Nasua narica), snakes, and birds of prey are predators of turquoise-browed motmots.

Turquoise-browed motmots are monomorphic birds that have an average mass of 66.5 g, and are approximately 34 cm long. Males are slightly larger than females. They consist of mixture of green and red earth tones with turquoise accents. Starting with its distinctive broad turquoise band above each eye, they have a back bill and extending from its base a black line that surrounds the eye and progresses to the ear. Underneath this black band from the bill to the eye is a very thin strip of turquoise. Behind the eye lays a triangular patch of chestnut. On the throat is a short black bib, fringed with turquoise. The body is a blend of olive-green, with chestnut on the back and belly. Their wings are comprised of olive-green coverts, turquoise remiges, and a black band along the tips. They have a wingspan of 122 mm. The two central tail feathers makeup much of the motmots overall length. The shape of the two central feathers is unique in that the middle portion of barbs is missing, leaving a small disc-shape at the end. The feathers initially grow intact, but the middle barbs are weakly attached to the shaft. These barbs easily fall off during regular preening or daily activity. Both male and female motmots feature these distinctive tail feathers, however males' tails are longer. Turquoise-browed motmots are identified from other species of motmot in the area by the longer length of vaneless shaft on their tail. The young take around twenty-five days to reach coloration like the adults.

Average mass: 66.5 g.

Average length: 34 cm.

Average wingspan: 122 mm.

Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry

Sexual Dimorphism: male larger

Currently no information is known regarding the lifespans of turquoise-browed motmots.

Turquoise-browed motmots occupy the open semi-arid lowland regions of forest, scrub forest and grazing pasture land of their range. In the arid semi-desert section of the Motagua Valley in Guatemala they are exceedingly abundant, being one of the most numerous species of bird in the region. Turquoise-browed motmots are also present in the tropical regions, but less plentifully, where they inhabit the secondary-growth and less dense forests along with cleared areas. They are not common in the dense rainforest. Depending on their locality, they prefer to nest in the walls of terraces, crevices and caverns of porous rock, and along the sandy banks near rivers, where they dig long burrows. Their burrows range from 100 to 160 cm in length, but the longest was found to be 244 cm long.

Habitat Regions: temperate ; terrestrial

Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland ; forest ; scrub forest

Although turquoise-browed motmots are monomorphic, males' tail length aids in sexual selection. Males with longer tails have greater pairing and reproductive success. Adults show fidelity to one another during the breeding season and may pair off exclusively for a few years at a time, in which they will nest in the same area and possibly the same burrow.

Mating System: monogamous

Turquoise-browed motmots' mating season begins in March. By late March, burrows are being made and eggs may be laid from April to May. Mating pairs will dig their burrows close together except when space is ample, then they prefer to be further apart from others.

Both the male and female take part in excavating their burrow. Depending on the site, they commence digging in the exposed edge horizontally, and with their feet they excavate their burrow. The entrance has been recorded to be 9 cm in width by 7.5 to 10 cm in height, and over the course of several days the burrow can grow to become 100 to 160 cm in length and will be slightly curved to one side. On the inside end the burrow widens into a chamber. The longest a burrow has been recorded at is 244 cm. The incubation period is around 17 days.

They make a bed beneath the eggs by regurgitating the indigestible fragments of their past meals on to the floor of their burrows. Turquoise-browed motmots can raise two broods in a single season, usually with 3 to 4 eggs in each and rarely 5. Their eggs are white and range from 7.5 to 8.5 g.

Breeding interval: Turquoise-browed motmots can raise up to 2 broods per season.

Breeding season: Breeding season is from March to May.

Range eggs per season: 5 (high) .

Average eggs per season: 3 to 4.

Average fledging age: 28 days.

Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous

Both male and female turquoise-browed motmots build the nest. The adults share in incubating and care taking of the eggs and young. To switch incubators, one individual calls out in a low voice while perched upon the burrows entrance, signaling to their mate that they will take over. The incubation period is around three weeks. From the first shell pip, it can take 1 to 3 days for the motmots to break through their shells. Upon hatching, birds are blind with pink skin and featherless. The nestlings remain in the burrow until they learn how to fly decently, which is takes from 25 days to 1 month. When they sense a disturbance by their burrow the adults approach with caution, never going directly in. They will first scan the area from a perch, then after ensuring it is safe they will return.

The turquoise-browed motmot (Eumomota superciliosa) is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family, Momotidae. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico (mostly the Yucatán Peninsula), to Costa Rica, where it is common and not considered threatened. It lives in fairly open habitats such as forest edge, gallery forest and scrubland. It is more conspicuous than other motmots, often perching in the open on wires and fences. From these perches it scans for prey, such as insects and small reptiles. White eggs (3–6) are laid in a long tunnel nest in an earth bank or sometimes in a quarry or fresh-water well. Its name originates from the turquoise color of its brow. It is the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua, where it is known as torogoz and guardabarranco respectively.

The bird is 34 cm (13 in) long and weighs 65 g (2.3 oz). It has a mostly grey-blue body with a rufous back and belly. There is a bright blue strip above the eye and a blue-bordered black patch on the throat. The flight feathers and upperside of the tail are blue. The tips of the tail feathers are shaped like rackets and the bare feather shafts are longer than in other motmots. Although it is often said that motmots pluck the barbs off their tail to create the racketed shape, this is not true; the barbs are weakly attached and fall off due to abrasion with substrates and with routine preening.

Unlike most bird species, where only males express elaborate traits, the turquoise-browed motmot expresses the extraordinary racketed tail in both sexes. Research indicates that the tail has evolved to function differently for the sexes. Males apparently use their tail as a sexual signal, as males with longer tails have greater pairing success and reproductive success. In addition to this function, the tail is used by both sexes in a wag-display, whereby the tail is moved back-and-forth in a pendulous fashion. The wag-display is performed in a context unrelated to mating: both sexes perform the wag-display in the presence of a predator, and the display is thought to confer naturally selected benefits by communicating to the predator that it has been seen and that pursuit will not result in capture. This form of interspecific communication is referred to as a pursuit-deterrent signal.

The call is nasal, croaking and far-carrying.

The turquoise-browed motmot is a well-known bird in its range. It has acquired a number of local names including guardabarranco ("ravine-guard") in Nicaragua, torogoz in El Salvador (based on its call) and pájaro reloj ("clock bird") in the Yucatán, based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum. In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far-less flattering pájaro bobo ("foolish bird"), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away.

El momoto cejiazul​ (Eumomota superciliosa) es una especie de ave coraciforme de la familia Momotidae. Habita en Centroamérica desde la península de Yucatán hasta Panamá. Esta ave es también observada en América del Sur. En Colombia se le conoce como Barranquero. Es común y no se considera amenazado de extinción.

Esta ave de singular belleza y policromo plumaje es conocida como torogoz en El Salvador (donde fue declarada ave nacional en noviembre de 1999)​ y guardabarranco en Nicaragua (declarada ave nacional con ratificación legislativa en junio de 2012).​ Si bien en ambos decretos legislativos se refiere expresamente a Eumomota superciliosa (con diferentes nombres vernáculos), en el caso nicaragüense los ornitólogos Howell y Webb (1995) describieron características del plumaje similares a las de Momotus momota, con base a observaciones de especímenes de ese país que habían sido clasificados como E. superciliosa.​

Бурый момот^[1] (лат. Eumomota superciliosa) — ярко окрашенная птица среднего размера из семейства момотовые (Momotidae).

Распространение и места обитания

Обитает в Центральной Америке от юго-востока Мексики (в основном, на полуострове Юкатан) до Коста-Рики, где этот вид обычен и не считается находящимся под угрозой исчезновения. Он живет в довольно открытых местах обитания, таких как лесные опушки, галерейные леса и кустарниковые заросли. Этот вид более заметен, чем другие представители семейства, он часто присаживается в открытых местах: на проводах и на заборах. С этих присад он высматривает добычу, как насекомых, так и мелких рептилий. Яйца белого цвета, количеством 3—6 штук он откладывает в гнезде которое строит в конце длинной тунелевидной норы, вырытой в речных обрывах, или иногда в карьерах и колодцах.

Описание

Длина птицы составляет около 34 см, вес около 65 г. Окраска оперения, в основном, зелено-голубая, с рыжим цветом задней части брюшка и на спине. Характерны ярко-голубая полоса над глазом и голубая кайма черного пятна на горле. Маховые и верхняя часть хвоста голубые. Кончики перьев хвоста имеют форму флажков и голые стержни центральных рулевых длиннее, чем у других момотов. Несмотря на то, как часто пишут, момоты, якобы, сами вырывают опахала центральных рулевых, чтобы придать им флагообразную форму, это не так; бородки слабо прикреплены к стержню и отваливаются из-за трения о субстрат или во время обычной чистки оперения^[2].

Поведение

В отличие от большинства видов птиц, у которых только самцы имеют яркую окраску и выразительные особенности оперения, у бурого момота необычайные флагообразные перья в хвостах характерны для обоих полов. Исследования показывают, что функция хвоста эволюционировала по-разному у самцов и самок. Самцам, по-видимому, хвосты служат в качестве сексуального сигнала, так как самцы с более длинными хвостами имеют больший успех при спариваниях и соответственно больший репродуктивный успех^[3]. В дополнение к этой функции, хвост используется обеими полами в «демонстрациях взмахивания» (wag-display), в процессе которых хвост перемещается возвратно-поступательно наподобие маятника^[4]. Демонстрации взмахивания исполняются в контексте, не связанном со спариваниями. Оба пола исполняют эту демонстрацию в присутствии хищников, и эта демонстрация, как полагают, отражает поддержанные естественным отбором преимущества от общения с хищником, а именно сигнал о том, что он (хищник) был замечен, и что преследование не приведет к поимке жертвы. Эта форма межвидовой коммуникации называется сигналом слежения-сдерживания (Pursuit-deterrent signal)^[5].

В культуре Центральной Америки

Бурый момот хорошо известен людям на территории своего ареала, он был выбран в качестве национальной птицы как в Сальвадоре, так и в Никарагуа. Он приобрёл ряд местных названий, включая guardabarranco («хранитель оврагов») в Никарагуа, torogoz в Сальвадоре (звукоподражательное название) и pájaro reloj («часовая птица») в Юкатане из-за его привычки махать хвостом подобно маятнику. В Коста-Рике он известен как momoto cejiceleste или под далеко менее лестным названием pájaro bobo («придурковатая птица»), в силу его склонности не улетать, когда люди подходят к нему очень близко.
