The Fiery-billed Aracari is a stunning toucanet, named for its bright orange-red bill with a black tip. Its plumage features black and yellow, making it a highly visible bird in its habitat. It inhabits humid tropical forests, where it typically forages in small groups.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid tropical forests and forest edges of the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica and western Panama.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable orange-red bill as it hops through the mid to upper canopy. Listen for its high-pitched, often chattering calls, similar to other aracaris. It often moves in small, noisy flocks.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon. Breeding season typically occurs during the dry season.

The vibrant 'fiery' color of its bill is a key characteristic that sets it apart from similar aracari species, particularly the Collared Aracari.
