Double-toothed Barbet: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 \u2014 As I mentioned yesterday, I have a lot of bird photos from Kibale and the surrounding area, so I will be doubling up on bird post for a while. This is a Double-toothed Barbet from the grounds of our lodge, Chimpanzee Forest Lodge\u2026an excellent lodge near Kibale National Park. The Double-toothed Barbet is perhaps the most common Barbet in Uganda (aside from the Tinkerbirds (which are so small it is hard to think of them as a Barbets). We don\u2019t have any Barbets in North America, and even the Barbets of Central and South America are more closely related to the Toucans than they are to African or Asian Barbets. The Double-toothed Barbet eats a lot of fruit, figs especially, and also hunts insects\u2026it even takes insects on the wing. We saw this one, typically, along the edge of the open grounds around the lodge, where the forest took over\u2026but I have seen them in open brushy savannah as well. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
