We were surprised one day to see several of these vibrant, wild birds preening themselves in the treetops of a city park.

Thanks bsmith! This photo is crop from a much higher resolution original. These toucans stayed high in the treetops, so it was most gratifying to get this clear shot of one of them.

Thank you Jake! his is he first time I ever saw them in the wild.

Hey Judy! I do appreciate the invitations and kind comments. I like your new group!

Laz, looks like you perfecting the new "Canon". Are you going to house this? Its great when u/w guys can actually take great pictures above water in exotic locations. Looking forward to more excellent shots from both environments. Vince
