Collared Aracari

Collared Aracari, Macaw Mountain Bird Center, Copan Ruins, Honduras

Among the many birds that come regularly to the feeders at the coffee shop at Macaw Mountain Bird Center, in the hills above Copan Ruins in far western Honduras, are Collared Aracaris…which I think of (for no good reason) as Toucans’ poor relations. Okay, they are a bit smaller, and not quite so outrageously colored, but they are certainly striking birds. They are perhaps a bit more common…more often seen around the grounds of resorts in Central America, but I don’t know why that should make them any less noteworthy than than their Toucan cousins. Maybe it is just me. 🙂 Sony RX10iv at 600mm. Program mode. 1/500th @ f4 @ ISO 1000. Processed in Polarr.
