The Choco Toucan is a large, striking toucan, characterized by a bright yellow chest and a multi-colored bill, similar to its Channel-billed relatives but with distinct regional differences. It inhabits the humid tropical forests of the Chocó region, where its calls are a distinctive part of the soundscape.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid tropical lowland and foothill forests of the Chocó region, spanning western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, deep, and often guttural 'creh-creh-creh' calls, similar to the Channel-billed Toucan but with subtle differences. Look for its prominent bill and yellow throat/chest as it perches on exposed branches in the upper canopy. It often moves in small groups.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Breeding season varies but generally occurs during the dry season.
