White-Cheeked Barbet
These birds play an important role in forests as seed dispersal agents. The white patch around the ear-coverts gives them their name. Since these Barbets sit still, and perch upright, they are difficult to spot. But once spotted they are also easy to capture. Their main range is along the Western Ghats south from the Surat Dangs and along the associated hills of southern India into parts of the southern Eastern Ghats.
