Toco Toucan

Ramphastos toco

Description:

The Toco Toucan is the largest species in the toucan family. This particular spotting was in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. You typically see them fly in pairs. Although they are supposed to be poor flyers, I think it's beautiful to see them fly: they look like fighter jets in flight.

Thanks, and I have no idea how. I suppose it was a bug that they solved later...

may i ask how you were able to include 7 photos in this spotting?
BTW, i'm not always a pessimist, this is a great spotting, i'm just curious as to how you got 7 pics in.

Impresionante!!!
Por los colores y la textura se parece más a un juguete que a un ave real :)
