I’ve selected two photos of the exceptionally beautiful Toucan Barbet (Semnornis ramphastinus). This species is native humid forests of the Western Andes of Ecuador and Columbia. Their diet varies according to the season. Yes, Ecuador has seasons when it comes to fruit and insect availability. Hope you enjoy.
