Yellow-throated Toucan

 

The Yellow-throated Toucan was a very cool bird to observe. It is a large conspicuous bird with oversized bill. Mostly black overall with yellow throat and face. Note bicolored bill: dark below and yellow above.


Found in pairs or small groups, often parading through the canopy in search of fruit. Sometimes perches very obviously at the top of a tree.


Favors forested areas, but can also be found in gardens and edges. Yelping call helps distinguish from similar looking species. Cornell All About Birds
