The Southern Emerald Toucanet is a beautiful toucanet, similar in appearance to its northern relatives, with bright emerald green plumage and a multi-colored bill. It is a resident of humid montane forests across the Andes, feeding on a varied diet of fruits and small animals.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane and cloud forests along the Andes, from northern Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and into Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its frog-like or yelping calls, often given from within dense foliage. Look for its bright green body and colorful bill as it hops through the mid-canopy. Patience and good binoculars are helpful for spotting its subtle markings.
When to spot
Present year-round. Most active at dawn and dusk. Breeding season varies geographically but generally involves increased vocalization.
