Mythical, adored by Mayas, Aztecs, and nearly all Central American less-known native groups. The image was captured during a feeding display.

This the bird I was rushing to see when I came across the Emerald Toucanet. We managed to see both sexes but it was quite dark in the forest. If one goes to CR this is a must see bird and we very nearly dipped!!!!!!!!!!- Robert L Jarvis

Not the best picture in the world, but I'm just glad that I saw one, especially since it was the rainy season. He still had his tail and everything, it was really a miracle that I saw him.- fuzzball288
