Chestnut-mandibled toucans are fairly common throughout Costa Rica. I saw this one at a place called La Selva, about an hour and a half drive from San Jose. This species primarily eats fruits from trees, but will occasionally eat insects, lizards and frogs. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 600mm manual focus lens, ISO 400, 600mm, f/5.6 at 1/90th of a second
