Black Nunbird

Monasa atra

Least Concern

The Black Nunbird is a sit-and-wait nunbird of Guianan and northeastern Amazonian forests. 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.
