p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Red-faced Barbet family

I saw this bird for the very first time and just for a few seconds in Costa Rica in 2018. It flew away and never to be seen again, much to my chagrin. Fast forward to a trip in late 2019 to Ecuador. When I checked out the patio upon arrival at the second lodge at a lower elevation, I saw a red-faced barbet at a fairly close distance. But my gear wasn’t ready and still had to be unloaded from the car

. Of course, the bird flew away shortly thereafter but to my delight it came back. Supposedly, the nest is not that far away. And indeed, I had the opportunity to capture images of the entire red-faced barbet family. And Mrs. red-faced barbet is not red at all, I must add.

Thank you for stopping by. And, please feel free to leave any feedback.

Joshua

Thank you very much, Louie! Somehow, it is easier to take exotic looking birds there than in our neck of the wood

Wonderful birds, nicely captured! Hard to tell their size though, as there isn't anything in the picture I can really use to get a sense.

Thank you very much, photonoclast! They measure approximately 3-4 inches when viewed from the front from the bottom of the belly to the top of the head, let’s say in #2 and #4.

Exquisite set, Joshua. A trip to Ecuador is definitely on my bucket list. Riveting detail in your images.

Cheers,

KD, thank you very much for your kind words and your name correction of the bird, which should be red-headed barbet. Somehow that name stuck from my experience from CR. I also appreciate your vote.

George, thank you very much! And yes, Ecuador is definitely worth visiting for bird photography and then some.
