CHESTNUT-MANDIBLED TOUCAN, Playa de Cacao (Feb. 19). This colorful, acrobatic bird was enormous, at least as big as a monkey, but it was at least 80 yards away, hence the low resolution. To see the bright red undertail coverts (which are barely visible here), roll the mouse over the image. (Its head is twisted around in the second image, so that the huge beak points straight up; one eye is visible.) The Keel-billed toucan, found in northern and eastern parts of Costa Rica, has a multicolored bill but is smaller. (VIDEO: first image)
