Isn’t it beautiful? The Turquoise-browed Motmot, or as Nicaraguans call it, the Guardabarranco.
It’s Nicaragua’s national bird.
And this one I found dead today on the dirt road John and I walk every morning on our hike up to the Christ statue and back.
I didn’t want to touch it (I’m pathetically squeamish) so I have no idea how it might have died.
