Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Western Yellow-billed Barbet sighting in Kakum National Park on a given day, based on 155 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 57th most-seen of the 250 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Western Yellow-billed Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakum National Park (155 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
