Collared Aracari - in our Banyon Tree, Belize

He really does look like a hand puppet! If you get a chance I would love to see more & the other, the Emerald Toucanet. How amazing to see these beautiful birds right in your yard! I live in the US, Indiana to be exact & it's basically a big cornfield. 😉 We have beautiful songbirds & lots of wildlife around. I guess it's mostly relative but we sure don't have any birds as beautiful and fascinating as yours! I also noticed that you've been all over the place. You've had the best experiences I expect. Btw, I love books too! They're stacked all around me!

I've more. . . and also sitting in a pine tree on a neighboring lot. This is at the seaside. . .Bay of Corozal. . .adjoining the Caribbean. A member of the Toucan family. . .only a bit smaller. There is also a relative about "Emerald Toucanet".

This is incredible! Will you please share some more photos of this bird or others like him? I am amazed everyday at all of the wondrous things in the world I've yet to see and learn. Thank you so much for all of the wonders I've seen in your postings!

Oh, thank you Carol. That tree attracted the most amazing variety of bird life!

This is now one of my all-time favorite photos.

I've photos of him elsewhere too. . . A pair nesting in the lot next to us! Simply grand!

Really? Spectacular! No, he's really a handpuppet! ;^))

Thanks for sharing this.
