Guianan Puffbird

Notharchus macrorhynchos

Least Concern

The Guianan Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of the Guianas 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.
