The Yellow-eared Toucanet is a stunning species, distinguished by its bright yellow ear patch, contrasting with its black head and primarily green body. It is a denizen of humid tropical and subtropical forests, where it forages for a diverse diet of fruits and small animals. It is a generally quiet species.
Where to spot
Native to humid tropical and subtropical lowland forests on the Caribbean slope of Central America and the Pacific slope of northwestern South America, from Honduras to Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive yellow ear patch and black head as it forages in the mid-canopy. It often remains hidden in dense foliage, so patience and quiet observation are key. Its calls are soft and not often heard.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon hours when foraging. Vocalizations are generally subtle.
