Coppery-chested Jacamar

Galbula pastazae

Least Concern

The Coppery-chested Jacamar is a slim, long-billed jacamar of eastern Andean foothill forests of Ecuador and northern Peru. It usually watches from exposed forest-edge or riverbank perches, then darts out to catch flying insects such as butterflies, moths, bees, and dragonflies, often returning to the same perch. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though healthy forest edges, river corridors, and nesting banks remain important locally.
