The Lemon-browed Barbet is a colorful and distinctive species, known for its bright yellow or lemon-colored stripe above its eye, contrasting with its green body. It is a denizen of humid montane forests, where it primarily feeds on fruits.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes, primarily in southeastern Peru and northwestern Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic hooting or trilling calls. Look for its bright lemon-colored supercilium (eyebrow) as it forages in the mid-canopy. It often joins mixed-species flocks.
When to spot
Present year-round. Most active for foraging in the early mornings and late afternoons. Vocal activity may increase during the breeding season.
