The national bird of El Salvador

Guardabarranco.JPG
Tourquise browed motmot or Torogoz is the El Salvadoran national bird. We saw one flying around at Joya de Ceren. He seemed to follow us through the area. His brilliant colors aren't as vivid in my photo, it is difficult to see the long delicate tail feathers, but he has a flower pedal in his beak.
