Black-breasted Puffbird

Notharchus pectoralis

Least Concern

The Black-breasted Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of humid forests from Panama to northwestern Colombia. It watches from exposed or shaded perches, then darts out for insects, spiders, and small vertebrates, nesting in burrows or cavities depending on the species. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact forest, woodland, and nesting sites remain important locally.
