Wild Collared Araçari
(Pteroglossus torquatus)
Costa Rica

Aracaris travel in groups of 6-15, which often include other toucan species. They roost communally ~7 can occupy a nest cavity overnight. About half the size of a toucan and flighty. #birds #aracari #collaredaracari #wildlifephotography

Collared Aracari, Tortuguero Costa Rica
I loved visiting there. Our guides were magnificent-knowledgeable and great spotters. Even the boat drivers were great spotters.
