Choco toucan - side view, Bahia Solano, Colombia
We were on a nightmare hike of 12km on a level path, with deep pools of mud sucking in our boots every step. Amidst deafening rain that doesn't seem to stop ever. Seeing this awesome bird made it all worth it though :)
The Choco toucan is a near-passerine bird in the family Ramphastidae found in humid lowland and foothill forests on the Pacific slope of Colombia and Ecuador. Within its range, extensive habitat destruction is taking place, but it remains fairly common locally.
