Noisy alarm clock ! (Ortalis motmot)

Almost every morning during my stay in Amazonian Brazil, I was awaked by this guy. They are very noisy from 5:30 to 6 AM but usually silent afterward.

Despite being very common, seeing one is really difficult! Eventually, one came nearby me while I was birding the gardens of the lodge, around 10 AM.
