How Many Aracaris Does It Take To Eat All The Fruit? | Canopy Lodge | Feb 14, 2024

A hungry group of Collared Aracaris made a meal out of the tasty offerings on hand at the Canopy Lodge Fruit Feeder in Panama. These small, attractive toucans are from tropical lowland forests and their edges. They are usually found in small groups moving through the canopy of fruit trees, or can be seen flying one by one when crossing clearings or going from one tree to another. They fly direct and fast, this is when the long and distinctive beak and tail can be distinguished. Note the yellow body with black and yellow markings, as well as the serrated pattern of the bill.

*******************************
About the Site
The Panama Fruit Feeder Cam is located on the grounds of the Canopy Lodge in El Valle de Antón, Panama. This site is just over 2,000 ft above sea level in the low mountains of Cerro Gaital, with a mild springtime climate year-round. A small stream called Rio Guayabo runs past the feeders in the background, and the lush landscaping of the Canopy Lodge grounds grade into the forested slopes around them. The feeding table is around 40 feet from the main lodge, and is one of several feeders provisioned throughout the day so that guests to the lodge are greeted to spectacular views of many of the common birds found in this ecosystem.
About the Canopy Lodge
The Canopy Lodge is a full service lodge specializing in nature tourism with a focus on birds. It is about 60 miles west of Panama City in the picturesque village of El Valle de Antón, right in the center of the gigantic crater of an extinct volcano. This is the largest inhabited crater in the Western Hemisphere and second only to the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. It is surrounded by the Cerro Gaital Natural Monument.
Canopy Lodge is one of a series of three ecotourism ventures developed by the Canopy Family. The first, Canopy Tower, involved transforming a former U.S. radar station overlooking the Panama Canal in Soberanía National Park into a unique birding lodge embedded in the canopy of the surrounding forest. Their newest property, Canopy Camp, offers a taste of some of the wildest lowland rainforest in Panama in the Darién region.

Chachalaca

[@bluestripes6037]

Yeah, chachalaca... They make a strange raucous sound lol

[@mnk.7310]

From Wikipedia: The common name derives from the Nahuatl verb chachalaca, meaning "to chatter."
