All very nice images! believe it or not I cleared a few offensive leaves that were on the right hand side of the perch where the red-headed barbet was! (about a month ago!) at bosque DTM.

Cheers!
Glad you did then. It was one of the few places that had perches we went to and I thought they were terrible. Most are flat and terrible angle for the light. It was actually very slow there. I was happy to see the barbets a lifer for me.
Great photographs. These are getting me very excited for my trip to Corcovado Costa Rica early March. Are any of your Costa Rica albums on Flickr from Corcovado?
Very nice shots. I saw a male quetzal from the back with his tail feathers extended and they were a brilliant iridescent green. They were blocked in part by the undergrowth and I could not leave the trail to get a better view but it was still an amazing sight and one I have not seen in any photographs of the bird.

Yes the tails have great iridescent colors, like hummingbirds you need just the right angle and light. This is the best I have of the tail colors from a previous trip. This was a young one with a shorter tail.
