Swallow-winged Puffbird
Chelidoptera tenebrosa
Least ConcernThe Swallow-winged Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of river edges, savannas, and open habitats across northern and central 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.
