Collared Aracari, Rio Santiago Nature Lodge, Honduras
I have already posted a shot of a Collared Aracari in the rain…looking slightly bedraggled, so here is one in the sun. My conclusion: Aracaris always look slightly bedraggled. 🙂 It is just their look…the Aracari way. This bird has its tail cocked off sharply to the right (our right, his left), so he looks a little tail-less. This was taken at Rio Santiago Nature Lodge, on the slope above the hummingbird feeders, while taking a break from photographing hummingbirds (always the real business at Rio Santiago).
