Jungle songs

[Richard Unsworth]

A pair of Keel billed Toucans call from the canopy top, you can see the top bird throwing back its head, as it makes the wonderful croaking sound. Once heard this will not be forgotten.
The capture was made near Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Shot into the light and a fair crop the exif is

Canon 7d 100-400 ISO 800 1/2000 Ec +2 f5.6

hope you like this high key shot

These are very beautiful birds and I love the pose, it’s a shame the back bird is completely obscured and front bird partially obscured by the branches Richard.

Hi Nick, yep , but they are nice leaves :-)
thanks for posting, pic taken as a behave shot and of course wish they had been in the clear

[Jim Crosswell]

I am not going to hear that familiar sound this year. Hope you get them in the clear. Nice behaviour image Richard!

Hi Richard, lovely pose from the top Toucan, and showing off the multi colours they have. I agree, its a pity the other toucan is obscured, and unfortunately, you cant create a crop to eliminate him.
