Song & Call Comparison
Keel-billed Toucan

Snowy Owl
Male gives a deep booming hoot 'hooooo' and a rising 'hoo-hoo' series. Also barks sharply when alarmed. Quieter than many owls; silent during long Arctic winter hunts.
Geographic Range & Migration
Keel-billed Toucan
Southern Mexico through Central America to northern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.
Snowy Owl
Circumpolar Arctic for breeding. Irruptive winter movements bring birds south to the northern United States, Europe, and Asia.

About These Birds
Keel-billed Toucan
용골부리투칸은 중앙아메리카의 열대 우림에 서식하는 화려한 투칸 종이다. 무지개색의 화려한 부리가 가장 큰 특징으로 몸 크기에 비해 매우 크지만 속이 비어 있어 가볍다. 과일을 주로 먹으며 둥지는 나무 구멍을 이용한다.
Snowy Owl
The snowy owl is the heaviest North American owl and one of the most charismatic Arctic birds. Unlike most owls, it is largely diurnal, necessitated by the continuous daylight of Arctic summers. Snowy owl irruptions — periodic mass southward movements — are tied to lemming population cycles.
