I am slowly birdifying our small backyard. It might be too small to attract motmots but I wouldnt be surprised if they showed up when there is enough vegetation to provide adequate shelter. Glad to hear that you may come down to Costa Rica for birding in January. I can think of a few places where you might have that motmot/coffee experience. Let me know if you need help planning your trip. Yes, it’s such a bonus when one can relax with birds and coffee in the backyard. I am slowly birdifying our small backyard.

I enjoy watching birds but hearing their beautiful songs gives birding great appeal especially if you are simply relaxing in your own backyard. I can't imagine the enticing sights and sounds of subtle birding in Costa Rica but I hope to experience the phenomenon, possibly this coming January. I'd love to watch a Blue-crowned Motmot on the veranda while drinking my morning coffee!
