I remember being a volunteer there (late 90s, early 00s) and the Mot Mots were my all time favorite birds! I was happy to see a pair of them in the wild while in Costa Rica, and now realize I must have been near their den, they dive bombed me on a regular basis (LOL!). I never knew they nested in tunnels!

I wonder how long until they grow and groom their feathers into those cool tail feathers you see on adults?
