Love the pics.
I'm so jealous. The laughing falcon is my favourite. I always thought toucans were just fictional characters. Next you'll be telling me that tigers are real too. |

Toucans..ha. Very cool to see them in real life, though. We even had a wonderful experience in watching their behavior in action. A white-throated flew into a tree in the canopy one afternoon, then proceeded to steal an egg out of an Oropendula nest, then was going for a second nest when a Roadside Hawk flew in, whereupon it flew away. So the second nest was saved by a Roadside Hawk! The whole time my friend and I were in the jungle, we felt as if we were in a giant zoo exhibit or bird/plant conservatory. But *it was real*.
