Spotted
The Buff-bellied Puffbird is a robust species, characterized by its dark upperparts, prominent white collar, and a warm buff or rufous belly. It is a sedentary forest dweller.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern South America, including southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. It inhabits humid lowland and montane forests, particularly dense woodland and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive buff belly and white collar. It often perches quietly on low to mid-level branches. Listen for its distinctive, often mournful, whistling calls which can be quite resonant.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often spends long periods motionless. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging. It is a resident species.
This puffbird often excavates its nest in a burrow within a termite mound, providing a safe and insulated environment for its eggs and chicks.
