The lemon-throated barbet (Eubucco richardsoni) is a species of bird in the New World barbet family Capitonidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lemon-throated Barbet sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 419th most-seen of the 446 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lemon-throated Barbet in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lemon-throated Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Lemon-throated Barbet sightings, Podocarpus National Park ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Manu National Park (Peru, about 10%), Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%) and Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lemon-throated Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Podocarpus National Park (7 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.
