Above the text a drawing by Paul Woei, made in Suriname in
1989 and a photo by KD Dijkstra also in Suriname (2007). Below
two splendid photographs made by Pascal Dubois in French Guyane
(2002) and a picture of a Green Aracari eating palmfruit, made by
Steven Wytema in Suriname.
Toucans are mainly birds of the forest, where they are easily
spotted, by their colors and big bill, but also because of the
many sounds they make. The bill is used for picking fruit and
berries, it gives them a greater reach. Toucans nest in tree
hollows, but of the Green Araçaris no nest has been found in
Suriname, although the birds themselves are common. The sound of a Green Araçari was
recorded by Alexandre Renaudier in French Guiana near Mana in
December 2007
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
