Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus)

Todd R. Forsgren

Excerpt from artist statement:

I photographed these birds while they are caught in mist nets, moments before the ornithologist extracts them. Here, the birds inhabit a fascinating space between our framework of the bush and the hand. It is a fragile and embarrassing moment before they disappear back into the woods, and into data.
