I’ve posted two other keel-billed toucan photos since my Panama trip back in May. But I really do think they’re among the best looking birds in the world. So… here’s another. I spotted this guy through a small opening in the cecropia trees while on the rooftop of the Canopy Tower. The Canopy Tower lodge was once a US military fort, but was converted into an eco lodge. It’s only about an hour from Panama City. The rooftop deck affords visitors an eye level view of the rainforest canopy — the favorite spot for keel-billed toucans and other birds (and many other creatures) to hang out.

Really nice atmosphere here.
Gorgeous – there’s a whole fruit salad of colours just in that magnificent beak.
