      I took a photo of this display at my visit some months ago. When working on a photo album last weekend, I came upon problems with the identity of the two species of toucan (next to the toco toucans) and the hummingbirds. The signages appear to be too blurry to read on my photo. Does anybody know which species of toucan and hummingbird are on display of can identify them?

      Toucans are Ramphastos dicolorus (green bill) and Ramphastos vitellinus ariel (black bill). I see at least 3 hummers, 1 unidentifiable at left side under the tip of the quetzal tail, 2 at right side under possibly a fourth species (tough it can be anything, even a bird nest, photo resolution don't allow to guess). These two species are probably Florisuga mellivora and Oxypogon guerinii.
