Watching THE ROLLER-LIKE BIRDS

THE ROLLERS AND THEIR ALLIES

THE MOTMOTS AND TODIES

(Family Momotida)


The second family comprises a small group of interesting birds confined exclusively to the New World and closely allied to the Rollers and Kingfishers, but also suggesting in some respects the Bee-eaters.

They are disposed in two subfamilies,— the Momotinm, which range from southern Mexico through Central America to Paraguay, and the Todina, which are confined to the Greater Antilles.
