There is a little protected area with a bunch of trees behind my backyard, and there was it. Beautiful.

No Jason, it's the opposite actually. This species of Toucan (Toco) is very adaptative to fragmented areas. It eats fruits and other birds' eggs, like sparrows, thrushes and tanagers. I've usually seen these birds fighting toucans around here.
