Chestnut-mandibled toucan

Ramphastos swainsonii

Description:

The largest toucan in Central America, the Chestnut-mandibled Toucan, is a prominent member of its habitat. These large, brightly marked birds call to each other in piercing tones, especially in the morning, and small flocks can create a boisterous commotion from their conspicuous perches. Groups of about 20 will travel together through and forage in the canopy, semi-open areas, or clearings with remaining tall trees. Closer to nightfall, flocks congregate at tall emergent trees or tall dead snags and call together.

Habitat:

Rainmaker reserve

Oh..it seems I am not the only one misunderstanding the limits of the mission "Mini-mundo de Costa Rica"..:-)
Karen, you better remove this birdie on time before being chased away ;-D

I would reconside changing the title to a more explicit one, tmvdh, if you are the mission author.
