La historia
I photographed this Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii) in El Caraño, in the hills above Florencia, Caquetá, Colombia, in febrero de 2020. Females weigh 153 to 173 grams. Young birds are paler and duller than adults and lack the tail rackets and the black breast spot. It is found from near sea level to about 1,400 meters in Panama and Ecuador. Like other motmots, it is thought to nest in deep burrows dug into earthen banks. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/400 sec, f/5.6, ISO 3200, +0,7 EV. Florencia, the capital of Caquetá, is known as the golden gateway to the Colombian Amazon and was founded on December 25, 1902.
