Golden-collared toucanet

Petrol and attitude

For #toucantuesday, I'm once again digging into my Costa Rica photos from last year to find a pair of emerald toucanets who were attempting to camouflage themselves in this tree.

Lost my mind every time we saw a Northern Emerald-Toucanet in Costa Rica. What a bird!

It's odd when you spend years looking for a difficult bird and have limited success, but then suddenly the bird shows up and hangs out with you for an hour, in the open, less than two meters away.

Yellow-eared Toucanets NEVER come to feeders... 1/2

Toucanets imply the existence of tiny Froot Loops
It's Toucanet Tuesday! We saw this fabulous little Northern Emerald Toucanet at the the place we stayed in Monteverde. The second photo shows how small they are compared to some very large leaves. 🪶

Thanks! The dense forest can make photographing toucanets a bit like warblering!

Yellow-throateds are about 53 to 56 cm.
Keel-billed about 42 to 55 cm.
Collared Aracaris just 38 to 41 cm.

And Yellow-eared Toucanets are just 36 to 38 cm.

I should put together a little sizing chart for them.

Just discovered toucanets are a thing and I am delighted

Hi everyone! I have another bird facts for you, this time it's about TOUCANS!

1. There are ~40 species of toucans, as well as the smaller toucanets and aracaris. The one you're most likely familiar with is the Toco Toucan! It's typically the one you'll see if you see any kinds of toucans in movies

Maybe you too need a bird break? I loved watching emerald toucanets eating mango behind Stella's cafe when I lived in Costa Rica for a semester in college.
Northern Emerald-Toucanet for today's #birbfest

Another colorful fellow... used a photo by user benkeen on inaturalist as a reference

Sending infinite love and appreciation for all the dedicated photographers out there recording our natural world 💜

Toucanets: for when you’re just not feeling the full size model and want something more compact with the same silly proportions
