14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Aracaris

A Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus) couple preparing a tree hole as a net for the future generation. I was trying to photograph these birds since a long time and I found them in the place less thought: the parking lot of the hotel where I was staying, near the jungle of Calakmul, Campeche, Mexico.
