The Yellow-throated Toucan is a large, striking toucan, characterized by its bright yellow throat and chest, contrasting with its black body and a large, colorful bill. It inhabits humid tropical forests, often seen in the canopy. Its loud, yelping calls are a prominent sound of its habitat.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical lowland and foothill forests, from southern Mexico south through Central America to western Colombia and western Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, far-carrying, often repeated 'yee-YIP, yee-YIP' calls. Look for its prominent yellow throat and large bill as it perches on exposed branches in the upper canopy. It often moves in small, noisy groups.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Breeding season typically occurs during the dry season (December-May).

This species was formerly known as the 'Chestnut-mandibled Toucan' due to the distinct color of its lower bill, but 'Yellow-throated Toucan' is now the widely accepted name.
