  Motmot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
MOTMOT is the name for about six genera and eight species of beautiful tropical American birds, inhabiting deep woods or dense thickets, and constituting the family Momotidae (order Coraciiformes), nearest related to todies, kingfishers and rollers.
Motmots are solitary, fly in small undulations or perch on branches of trees, occasionally twitching the long tail from side to side when excited.
The turquoise-browed Motmot (Eumomota superciliosa/14 inches) of southern Mexico to Costa Rica, is green above and on breast, throat fl, cinnamon-rufous sides and belly.

 MOTMOT - LoveToKnow Article on MOTMOT
Linnaeus knew of only one species of motmot, and referred it to his genus Ramphastos (properly Rhamphastus) under the name of R. momota.
This is the Momotus brasilie-nsis of modern ornithologists, and from its geographical range cannot be the original Motmot of Hernandez, but is most likely the Guira guainumbi of Marcgrave.
The motmots form the sub-family Momotinae, which with the Todinae (see T0DY) form the family Momotidae of Coraciiform birds, the nearest allies being rollers (q.v.) and kingfishers (q.v.).

 Research & Resources: Species Profiles - Blue-Crowned Motmot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Similar to all members of the motmot genus, the blue-crowned motmot has a large head with down curved, short, broad beaks, which are serrated along the upper edge.
Motmots are found in Mexico, Central America, and the majority of South America in rainforests, second-growth forests, forest edges, shady gardens, and shaded coffee farms.
Motmots dig their nests in the shape of tunnels 5-14 feet long and 4 inches in diameter with a nesting chamber at the end, which is 10 by 14 inches in length.

 Rufous Motmot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The newly arrived motmot was carrying a fl-and-green poison dart frog in its beak which it fed immediately to the first individual.
It is not possible to distinguish between sexes in Rufous Motmots; however, their behavior was intrepreted as a male who was feeding the female as a courtship gesture.
While motmots in general may be warned by aposematic coloration, the Rufous Motmot at least is capable of handling and consuming this particular species of poison dart frog.

 BirdForum - Motmot behavior?
Anyway, I was exploring this mountain slope when I see a rufous-capped motmot flying at the under-canopy of a large tree, then I realize there were other motmots seating nearby, at least 4 from what I could see.
All the others motmots I have seen in that area or in the Amazon were always alone.
Motmots generally don't form active leaks, as they are monogamous and - from what is known so far - are comitted to their partner througout the year (their loud calls have been shown to play an important part in maintaining contact between the pairs - even from a distance).

 Reports Submitted to FAMSI - Karla L. Davis-Salazar
The primary objective of this project was to provide detailed documentation of the Motmot artifacts as well as to identify other material residues (primarily pigments) associated with the Motmot marker in order to yield additional data that can be correlated with known textual and contextual information (Fash 2001; Fash and Stuart 1991).
The Motmot burial consists of a circular cobblestone cist located 3.5 m in front of a building adorned, in painted stucco, with large birds (Motmot Structure).
The burial was marked by a carved limestone monument (Motmot marker) equal in diameter to the cylindrical cist, and.5 m directly above the cist.

 MoTMoT :: Why
In the context of OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA), it seemed promising to use (parts of the) UML as a visual modeling language for model transformations.
After using the Fujaba tool to experiment how UML based graph rewriting could be used to implement refactorings, the technique was decoupled from a particular UML tool by building MoTMoT.
