I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For this week's Wild Bird I am featuring the Collared Aracari of the Toucan family. We watched this family of Collared Aracari's from the resort's dining room.. At times we saw 5-6 of these toucans flying or perched in the trees on the edge of the resort's property near the river.
Like the other toucans this bird has a large bill, is a dull yellow and has a black saw-tooth pattern..They also have a black head, a reddish collar and red rump.
The Aracari's were a treat to see and especially so many at one time.. My first sighting of these cool wild birds was in Costa Rica Collared Aracari
The Collared Aracari can lay three eggs in a nesting cavity. They roost socially, up to 6 adults and fledglings sleep in the same hole with their tail folded over their backs.
Thanks for stopping by my post and for all the nice comments.

What a beautiful bird, Eileen and what an interesting post; especially about their breeding and nestling habits. Have a great day. Jo
Eileen, these birds are so cool! Even their demeanor looks aloof...:)JP
Interesting nesting style . . . bring the whole family/friends. What a sight it must be to observe this bird, the differences than most of the more common we see around here.
Interesting looking bird.
I had never seen a Collared Aracari before. Wow. Such a beautiful bird. Love that last shot of the three of them :)
Such fun to see Eileen. What an extraordinary bird! Great shots!
A friend of mine posted some pictures of these birds a few years ago - I was so jealous. And nothing changes!

What an interesting neat bird, what a great set of shots.
Such an exotic looking bird, I love those trees that enable a perfect view of the bird!!
I'd love to go back -- with digital camera. Of course our trip pre-dated those. Sweet memories. We stayed at a resort called Five Sisters Falls when we were in the rainforest. I often wonder if it still there.
They are certainly a unique looking bird, love that bill.
How exciting to have seen both of these birds in person. I love the color stripes on the Collared Aracari.
What lovely and interesting birds to see. I have seen them in Paraguay.
Beautiful images of the Collared Aracari, excellent Eileen.
I am as excited as ever to see you share some of the birds from the tropics Eileen!! Wonderful.
Ohhhh ..... what another special bird Eileen and what a beautiful!!
I think I have to emigrate because you see a lot of beautiful birds :-) Whole nice day today
