A head shot of a yellow-throated toucan.

Yellow-throated Toucan

Boca Tapada

The yellow-throated toucan is what you get when you max out the stats on a beaky bird: he's the biggest toucan in Costa Rica, with an appetite to match. And that appetite doesn't stop at just fruit; during the breeding season, yellow-throated toucans have been known to raid nests and grab unsuspecting young. Fortunately, at the lodge I was staying at in Boca Tapada, the toucans are only interested in wolfing down bananas, and they come in close enough to allow for full-frame head shots.
