Spotted
The Barred Puffbird is a strikingly patterned species, characterized by its intricate barring across its underparts, rufous head, and white collar. It is a quiet and sedentary forest bird.
Where to spot
Found in Central and South America, from Costa Rica to Peru and Bolivia. It inhabits humid primary and mature secondary lowland rainforests, often along forest edges or clearings.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive barred underparts. It often perches upright on exposed branches in the mid-story or lower canopy. Listen for its soft, whistled calls, which can be hard to pinpoint in dense forest.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often spends long periods perched motionless. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging. It is a resident species.

Its finely barred plumage provides remarkable camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the dappled light and shadows of the forest, making it a master of disguise.
