The Channel-billed Toucan is a large, striking toucan, characterized by a black upper mandible and a variable yellow-to-greenish lower mandible, along with a prominent yellow throat patch. It inhabits humid tropical forests, where its loud calls are a distinctive part of the soundscape.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid tropical lowland forests across the Amazon Basin, including parts of Brazil, the Guianas, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, deep, and often guttural 'creh-creh-creh' calls. Look for its prominent bill and yellow throat patch as it perches on exposed branches in the upper canopy. It often moves in small groups, making it easier to spot.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Breeding season varies regionally but often occurs during the dry season.
