Grey-breasted mountain toucan
The grey-breasted mountain toucan (Andigena hypoglauca) is a near-threatened species of bird in the toucan family, Ramphastidae, and a member of the genus Andigena, the mountain toucans. Found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, grey-breasted mountain toucans are 41 to 48 centimetres (16 to 19 inches) long and weigh 244 to 370 grams (8.6 to 13 ounces). The species inhabits wet temperate montane forest, including cloud, elfin, and secondary forest, generally between 2,200 and 3,650 metres (7,200 and 12,00 feet) in elevation. This grey-breasted mountain toucan of the subspecies A. h. hypoglauca was photographed perching on a branch in the mountains of the Cordillera Central near Manizales, Colombia.Photograph credit: Charles J.
