Ian and Mike just got back from KNCC with terrific news:

“Our first morning we found a Red-crowned Barbet nest. We were very happy with it but didn’t know how big a deal it was until we later told Yotin. He’s only ever found two and neither was as accessible as ours.”

This is a rather rare bird and finding a nesting pair is not only good news for birders (for those who desperately want the tick, like myself) but also for the status of the bird, which hopefully repopulating at a higher rate than it was in previous times.

-Good find Ian!
