This morning guests at Lower Dover Belize Jungle Lodge got a surprise when this younger Collared Aracari accidentally crashed into the Rasta cabana window. We guess he/she wanted to see how nice the room was…there are easier ways to get a tour!
Lucky for birders and wildlife lovers, this beautiful bird gathered itself with the help of it’s 3 lovely assistants, and flew away uninjured after these pictures were taken.
This bird must have really wanted to get some face time on the internet so we are happy to facilitate. Aracari are pretty easy to see flying in groups around the hotel, especially now when the papayas are ripe…but never this easy!
