Chestnut-capped Puffbird

Bucco macrodactylus

Least Concern

The Chestnut-capped Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of lowland forests of northern South America and the Amazon Basin. 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.
