Above a photo made by Stephan Ferrier of a bird near its nesthole at awarradam, February 2005. Then a photo made by Dominiek Plouvier in Suriname in 1986 of three aracaris. Below this text follows one made by Pascal Dubois in French Guyane in 2002 and one from Erik Toorman, seen from below in Coronie in 2003. The last photo was made by J.H. Ribot, Walsrode 1998. These toucans are mostly seen in groups of up to 5 birds. They are quite common in savanna forest and in the lowland rainforest in Suriname.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
