Black is beautiful! This Mountain-toucan has evolved a black bill whereas most of its genus mates have colorful bills. However, I don't think it makes this bird any less interesting, and in fact maybe more intriguing. This was the bird of the day on our first outing on my second trip to Colombia. It is found in a wide range from Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela but in a fairly thin sliver of high elevation ridges in montane and cloud forest habitat.
