Cartagena has a large nature park right near the pier where the cruise ships dock. They have feeders out for the macaws, which we watched fly in as our ship approached dock, and parakeets, however all kinds of species of birds are attracted to this area and can be observed in this natural area. It’s rather a neat idea, giving foreigners a chance to see wild birds in a natural environment while providing a safe haven for the macaws during the daytime.
I and other birders were extremely happy to observe and photograph this Blue-crowned Motmot. We have observed a variety of motmots in our travels however the Blue-crowned was a lifer for us.
The Blue-crowned Motmot is a large motmot of humid forest and edge in tropical lowlands and foothills. They perch at all levels, usually in shady areas.
