The Scarlet-hooded Barbet is a striking and colorful barbet, characterized by its bright scarlet hood and blue-green body. It inhabits the humid montane forests of the Andes, where it feeds on fruits and insects. Its vibrant colors make it a sought-after sighting.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes, primarily in central Peru and northern Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive scarlet hood as it forages in the mid-canopy of trees. While not as vocal as some barbets, listen for its soft calls. Binoculars are essential to appreciate its vibrant plumage in the dense forest.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active during the early morning hours, when it is typically foraging. Breeding season may bring increased vocalizations.
