Collared Aracari

We just got back from a trip to Panama and these Collared Aracaris were among my favorite birds to photograph. I especially like how they have evolved a notched bill in lieu of teeth.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Never did see one on our trip to Costa Rica. I'm jealous! Great shots!

Certainly something you don't see in Rainy Lake! Great find and shots, Al! Looking forward to more from the trip, Buddy.

Thank you, my friends, for taking the time to comment. It was indeed a great trip. Tropical bird photography certainly puts one through one's paces; it seems as though there is either too much light or not enough of it.

Two great images Al. I've seen this species in Costa Rica and I agree they make great subjects.

Thank you, Stephen; they were a treat to see.
