Toucans’ range extends from southern Mexico to northern Argentina.
Many toucans are very colourful; all of them have very large bills.
Most of the more than forty species live at low altitude, in warm, wet forests.
However, the four species that comprise the genus Andigena – the mountain toucans – are high-flyers.
They inhabit cool, humid, montane forests.
You are looking at a grey-breasted mountain toucan, Andigena hypoglauca.
The common name is inaccurate; the relevant breast is always blue-grey.
