Photo of the Week - Toucan (South America) - Our tiny cluster had walked for an hour in extreme humidity and climbed a rickety, picket tower to be at the peak of the tree-tops. We'd been standing around for an extra hour with very little activity when a toucan fluttered into a so much branch. The photo is taken at most zoom, scanned in and then zoomed some a lot of with Photoshop, that makes it a bit bit hazy. however the thrill of seeing this most iconic South yank bird with its outsized beak and vibrant plumage was one thing i'll forever keep in mind. some minutes later it flew away however those couple of minutes are to be treasured.
We were told it absolutely was a red bill toucan however as long as the bill is black, yellow and blue which the sole red could be a tiny dash on its breast and tail, I've never been terribly convinced. perhaps somebody who is aware of their toucans will make sure that species of toucan it truly is.
