The other day, when we were walking around the grounds, we were lucky enough to spot to different toucans and a cousin, the Collared Aracari.
One variety of Toucan sounds like frog that has been made a eunuch (high-pitched and croaking); the other is more of a sharp screech. While the aracaris like to come down and feed close to the tree houses and the rancho, the toucans prefer to hang out high in the trees.
The toucans, while very pretty, are kind of gnarly things as they will raid nests and trash the eggs of other birds. Why? No clue, though we're welcome to suggestions.
