Spotted
The Black-fronted Nunbird is a large, dark puffbird distinguished by its black forehead and a stout, often brightly colored bill. These gregarious birds are typically found in the canopy and sub-canopy of Amazonian forests.
Where to spot
Lowland tropical rainforests, forest edges, and riverine forests throughout the Amazon basin of South America, including Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for their loud, clear whistling calls, often given by multiple birds. Scan the mid to upper canopy for dark, stout-bodied birds perched upright. They can be less shy than other puffbirds.
When to spot
Observable year-round; highly active and vocal during the breeding season. Best seen during daylight hours, particularly early morning.

Black-fronted Nunbirds often participate in mixed-species foraging flocks, using their excellent eyesight to spot insects from a perch before sallying out to catch them.
