I know this species had been widely posted here but just could not let this one go without posting as I like the pose this bird gave me and the nice tropical BG.

Taken at a feeder, I placed this perch and lured the bird with bananas.

It can´t get any eaiser than that! I am a firm believer of composing my images in-camara and this is a good example, I hope you like this one!  :D

Stunning! Amazing perch and background. The bird looking up is fantastic.
What was up there? Black Hawk-Eagle? :-)

Awesome BG and perch. Love the bird looking up pose. Well done.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph

There is no such things as too many toucan (toucanet or aracari) photos!
The "studio" you've constructed makes this photo one of the best aracari images I have ever seen. I love the pattern of the vegetation in the background as well as the details on the perch. The raised bill and showy chest plumage makes this a complete image.

Not only a cool pose and great perch, what makes it really special for me is the background.
