Thank you for your support, Hema!
Karen: Well, that also happened to me, they perched on the tallest trees and then when we could take an acceptably good shot, they flew away! ;)
In costa rica we only saw them flying overhead, and then perched up high in the wee hours of the morning, when no zoom could do much. IN Belize & Guatamala,hwoever, we got some good sightings
lovely toucan!
i was looking at your patches. You are so new and yet so famous! Congratulations my friend! Toucans are indeed lovely birds!
Thank you very much, Cole, Sisir, Philip, Karen, and Willie!
