The White-throated Jacamar is a small, dark jacamar with a contrasting white throat and a long, slender bill. It typically inhabits the edges of tropical forests and clearings.
Where to spot
Forest edges, clearings, riverine forests, and open woodlands in the Amazon basin of South America, including parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look for it perched on exposed branches at the edge of the forest or over water. Its white throat stands out against its dark body, and it often sits very still before darting out for prey.
When to spot
Year-round; most active during the early morning and late afternoon when insect prey are abundant.

Jacamars, including the White-throated Jacamar, have specialized feet with two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward, which helps them perch firmly and dart quickly to catch flying insects.
