Collared Puffbird

Bucco capensis

Least Concern

The Collared Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of Amazon Basin and Guianan 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.
