As in case of hummingbirds, the text linked to toucans describing those taken on the trip to Costa Rica will be common for them all. Also with this group of birds fate turned out to be favorable in terms of pictures as I was able to photograph 4 of 7 species of toucans that occur there in Costa Rica. As usual the result was at different level of success. It happened twice that collared aracari and black-mandibled toucan approached so close to the place where food was laid that to adjust them in the frame in the whole I had to back a few meters away.

Larger and heavier females weigh up to 150 grams and at such a scale length of their toes is almost 30 centimeters. Bustards that weigh several dozen kilograms have toes of several centimeters that look just like stumps. And here we have such a long toes. 100 grams of weight and 20 cm long toes! They are so long that look quite strange when they are flying, as if a bird by mistake was dragging something behind.
