I was so happy to find a nest of the species I was looking for in Cocorna, but the bird entered and exited the nest so quickly and so infrequently that it hardly helped. I should add that I was ten meters away, and the bird didn't seem at all bothered by my presence. The nest was alongside a trail.
I returned two months later to see this dead tree had been neatly sawed down, and I fear it was to extract baby Barbets for the pet trade.
Found usually in the Andean foothills of the Magdalena valley up to 1500m. Male and female similar, but female has black mark at base of lower mandible. Found inside healthy forest, but can also tolerate some degradation.
