[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Red-breasted Toucan (Ramphastos dicolorus) is found throughout central and southern Brazil and south into northern Argentina and is one of the more commonly seen species.
It is one of the smaller species of large black toucans, 48 cm, weighing approximately 350 grams. Its beak is one of the shortest of the large toucans at only four inches in length. The Red-breasted Toucan derives its name from the large area of red feathers, which are really on the abdomen. Its breast is actually orange, with yellow at the sides. The beak is mostly green and therefore sometimes referred to as The Green-billed Toucan.
In lowland and montane forests.

Hello Peter,
A superb shot of this colourful toucan with great sharpness, details, composition and blue sky BG. Not only have you captured the details of the Red-breatsed Toucan itself but it nice to see the lichens on the branches of the tree that it uses as a perch.
Well done and TFS!
