Blue Throated Barbet (Megalaima asiatica) Picture and Detail
Last time, I introduced you to Brown-headed Barbet which I found in Punjab (India). This time, I meet with beautiful Blue-throated Barbet in Himachal Pradesh. This bird is more colorful than earlier Barbet. The Blue-throated Barbet is a slighter smaller Barbet than the Brown-headed Barbet; though, we can hear its calls from a distance.

I found good numbers of Blue-throated Barbets on the tree which shows their sound population. These birds are shy in nature and mostly remain hidden behind the leaves. The scientific name of this bird is Megalaima Asiatica and it is an Asian Barbet bird with prominent color green on its body.
Head of Blue-headed Barbet |
We can find the red color on the top (head) and blue color on the throat (which gives it the name of Blue-throated Barbet). We can also see the black lines on the head of Blue-throated Barbet. You can also see the bristles around the strong bills on blue-throated Barbets. The male and female Blue-throated Barbet are alike. Their breeding season is from March to July.
This bird makes me follow it at many places to get some of its pictures. The blue-throated Barbet gets easily noticed when we look at his face and see the blue color. The best way to find this bird is to follow its calls.
