The Lemon-throated Barbet is a small, vibrant barbet with a distinctive bright yellow throat and greenish body plumage. It inhabits the humid tropical forests of South America, often blending seamlessly with the dense foliage. Its presence is often revealed by its quiet feeding habits.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical and subtropical lowland forests across the western Amazon Basin, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Search for it in the mid-canopy, particularly in areas with fruiting trees, as its diet is primarily fruit. Look for subtle movements among leaves rather than relying on calls. Binoculars are helpful to distinguish its subtle yellow throat.
When to spot
Present year-round. Best observed during early mornings when birds are most active foraging, or during the breeding season when they might be more conspicuous.

Unlike some of its louder barbet relatives, the Lemon-throated Barbet is generally considered a less vocal species, making it a challenging but rewarding find for birdwatchers.
