by Becca McMurdieA few years ago, I had the tremendous opportunity to spend two months living and learning in Costa Rica. I will never forget my first encounter with a wild toucan in the Monteverde rainforest. Immediately fascinated by these majestic creatures, I vowed to learn as much about them as possible. A local birdwatching guide told me about a famous toucan at a nearby rescue center who had endured an injury and received a prosthetic beak—the first of its kind. Grecia was the bird’s name.
