Collared Aracari with Cecropia Fruit

Several of these toucans were in the Cecropia Trees next to the Canopy Tower during a rain shower.

This one was holding one of the Cecropia fruits against the branch and had broken off the end with its bill. These fruits, also know as "snake fingers" are used as a food source by quite a few birds and mammals.
