Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Beautiful toucan of Andean cloud forest that is found mainly in Bolivia, though it also reaches far southeastern Peru. Very colorful, with greenish wings, mostly blue underparts, an azure collar, and a yellow bill with a black tip and black spot near the base. It occurs south of the range of Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan, which has a very different bill pattern. Typically encountered in pairs or small groups in the forest canopy, where it sometimes gives rising squeals, short yaps, and harsh rattles.
