NEOTROPICAL BIRDS
PHOTOGRAPHY OF TOUCANS
The neotropical region extends from southern Mexico and Florida to southern Brazil and the province of Misiones in Argentina and includes the Caribbean sea and the Guyanas. The latitudinal limit of Neotropical forests is not set by the astronomical limit of the tropics, but rather by the intensity of the cold season and the amount of precipitation.
