Sira Barbet

Capito fitzpatricki

Near Threatened

The Sira Barbet is a fruit-eating barbet of Andean forests and foothills of western South America. It moves through forest canopies and edges, taking fruit and insects and nesting in tree cavities. It is not yet globally threatened, but declines, restricted range, or habitat pressure mean it needs watching.
