🌿 Bird Family of the Month: TOUCANS! 🌿
As part of our Toucan Family of the Month, today we’re featuring a true cloud forest gem: the Northern Emerald Toucanet 🦜✨

With its vivid green plumage, striking bill, and expressive eyes, this charismatic little toucan is a dream subject for bird photographers.

Often cooperative and curiously, Northern Emerald Toucanet if one of the most photogenic species on the highlands in places like San Gerardo de Dota and Cinchona.

📍 Have you photographed the Northern Emerald Toucanet yet?

🕊️ Birds need more than admiration—they need protection.

At Aratinga Tours, we support conservation with every trip. One example: Agami Island in Katira, Costa Rica—home to the world’s largest breeding colony of the rare Agami Heron (Near Threatened).

In July 2025, we had the privilege of visiting this unique site with a birding group from Ohio—witnessing these stunning herons in full breeding plumage.
Let us know if you are interested in visiting Agami Island !

🌎 Tiny country, HUGE birding value! 🐦🔥

Costa Rica may only take up 0.03% of the Earth’s surface, but it has a very high concentration of endemic bird species (species with a limited distribution range)
🟡 4 species are found only in Costa Rica: Cabani’s Ground Sparrow, Coppery-headed Emerald, Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager and Mangrove Hummingbird

🌄 About 60 species are regional endemics, restricted to the Talamanca Mountains shared with western Panama. These include highland jewels like: Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, Fiery-throated Hummingbird, Sulphur-winged Parakeet, Black-capped Flycatcher, Golden-browed Chlorophonia, Timberline Wren and many more…

🦜 At Aratinga Tours, we know where to find these highland specialties — contact us to help you build your dream birding adventure

𝐉𝐔𝐋𝐘 – 𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇

Some of Costa Rica’s Tanagers are so bright✨, we sometimes have to look away... or grab sunglasses! 🕶️🌴

Swipe through with caution: be aware of the color overload !
𝐑𝐞𝐝-𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫 – Basically a walking neon sign.
𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐜𝐧𝐢𝐬 – As if someone dipped a bird in blue Gatorade.
𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 – Minty fresh with polka-dots.
𝐁𝐚𝐲-𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 – Like a tropical fruit salad... but with wings.
