The Collared Puffbird is a charming species, characterized by its brown upperparts, white throat, and a distinct black band across its chest. It is a quiet and often overlooked forest bird.
Where to spot
Widespread across parts of the Amazon basin, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests, forest edges, and secondary growth, often near water.
How to spot
Look for its black breast band and white throat. It often perches quietly on horizontal branches in the mid-story or lower canopy, scanning for insects. Its calls are soft whistles or trills, making visual detection crucial.
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.
