The Fiery-billed Aracaris are a medium-sized Toucan. The top half of their bill is bright orange, so it explains where they get their name. They are also identified by their red belly band. These birds travel in a flock and are often found in forested areas in Costa Rica and western Panama. This Aracari, as you can see by it's beak, was feasting on bananas.
I personally think they are one of the coolest looking birds. : )
