A toucan on black

Pat Abbott (Washington, NJ)
Photographed July 2008, National Zoo in Washington, DC

"I just love birds. They have such great personalities," says Abbott, who visited the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. to photograph the animals. "The toucan really stood out, with those vivid colors and the large bill," she says. "I spent more time at his exhibit than any other in the zoo. He seemed to be posing just for me."

Absolutely stunning toucan! My boyfriend is obsessed with this photo, and we have this empty wall space to fill... Would you by any chance be willing to sell a print or high-quality digital file of this character?

Sensational, The Keel-Bill is one of the most spectacular creatures on earth anyway, but this really jumps!
