One of the many animals I look forward to seeing upon arriving to Costa Rica each year is the Fiery-billed Aracari.  These beautiful birds are endemic to the southern pacific coastal region of Costa Rica and down into western Panama. Like other toucans, the Fiery-billed Aracari is brightly coloured with a large bill.  Both sexes are alike.  The sharp loud call of this species is very similar to that of the Collared Aracari.
