The Collared Aracari is a medium-sized toucanet, easily recognized by the black 'collar' around its neck and a colorful bill. It is a common and conspicuous resident of tropical and subtropical forests, often seen in noisy groups. Its calls are a familiar sound of Central American forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid tropical and subtropical forests, forest edges, and plantations, from southern Mexico south through Central America to northern Colombia and Venezuela.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, sharp 'tche-it' or 'psee' calls, often given in chorus by a group. Look for its black collar and colorful bill as it hops through the mid-canopy, often near fruiting trees. It is often quite tame and approachable.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon. Breeding season (varies regionally) leads to increased activity.

Collared Aracaris often engage in allopreening (preening each other), strengthening social bonds within their small family groups.
