Blue-throated Toucanet

Aulacorhynchus caeruleogularis

Blue-throated Toucanet, Aulacorhynchus caeruleogularis, lives in the highlands of Costa Rica and in western and central Panama, reaching east to western Panamá. It is a toucanet of humid montane forest, and it also uses secondary forest, shrublands, pastures and plantations. The species is non-migratory and often moves in groups of up to about 10. Its throat is the key feature that sets it apart, and the bill also varies in colour.
