Least ConcernThe Russet-throated Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of dry scrub, savanna, and woodland of northern South America. 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.
