Bird Portrait: Top 5 Photos of the Week
Bird portrait is a popular subject, especially in the winter and spring when they are sporting their finest plumage. With the exception of a couple of species, males don the most colorful plumage, and consequently, they tend to be the target for most photographers.
Now let’s see in this article, some amazing “Bird Portrait” photos that we have featured from our Facebook group.

A small, widespread, and cute little barbet with streaked underparts and a well-patterned face. Most populations have a red forehead, yellow around the eye and throat, and a black eyestripe all bordered at the rear of the crown by a black band. Also note red “badge” on upper chest. Female averages duller than the male, with some yellow on a narrower red “badge”. Immature lacks all red and has faint streaking on the throat. Subspecies in Sumatra, Nusa Tenggara, and the central Philippines have bright red-and-black faces. While common, can be hard to see; listen instead for its call, a prolonged and unmistakable “kuk-kuk-kuk.” Favors open woodlands, forest edge, and gardens in lowland and foothill areas; ranges up into higher elevations in the Philippines and Indonesia.
