Motmot

The handpainted wooden bookmark that shows a motmot bird from El Salvador. Beautiful!!! Thanks, Xiomara :)



The motmots are birds restricted to woodland or forest in the Neotropics, and the largest diversity is in Middle America. They have a colourful plumage and a relatively heavy bill.
The Turquoise-browed Motmot (also called Torogoz or Talapo) is the national bird of El Salvador.

El Salvador is the smallest, and also the most densely populated country in Central America. It borders the Pacific Ocean between Guatemala and Honduras.
It has a population of approximately 5-6 million people. The capital city of San Salvador is the largest city of the Republic. The colón was the currency of El Salvador between 1892 and 2001, when El Salvador adopted the U.S. Dollar. The Colón continues to be legal tender.
