Collared Aracari

Here is a bird that we saw a few months ago, in our house's garden, a Collared Aracari:

2006-11-Toucan.jpg

Its scientific name is Pteroglossus torquatus. Aracaries are from the family of toucans, the Ramphastidae.

Other names: Medio Pito (Spanish name), Aracari a collier (French name).
I will try to record its "voice" next time I see one.
Habitat: Secondary jungle, broadleaf forests, mostly in trees that give fruits.
Is it found easily? Yes, it is the most common of the 3 species of toucans that exist in Belize.
Additional informations: Toucans eat fruits, but also the eggs of other birds, if they find some. They cannot fly well, so they can only travel for short distances. They "jump" from tree to tree, using their wings.
