Emerald Toucanet - Aulacorhynchus prasinus (Aulacorhynchus prasinus)

Well how do I describe the excitement at seeing this beauty the first time. Much smaller than what I had expected. They are only 30cm in size. I was glad this individual was happy to pose for a few photos.
This was one of the birds I had hoped I would see, and I was fortunate to see several, although all were in the Monteverde area.
