White-necked Puffbird
Notharchus hyperrhynchus
Least ConcernThe White-necked Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of tropical forests and wooded edges from Central America through 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.
