Salmoni's puffbird

Brachygalba salmoni

Salmoni's puffbird (Brachygalba salmoni) is a small bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It has a distinctive appearance with a brownish-black crown, white throat, and rufous underparts. This species is known for its unique call, a series of whistled notes that can be heard echoing through the forest. Salmoni's puffbird primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates, which it catches by perching quietly and making short sallies to capture its prey. It nests in tree cavities and is often found in the lower levels of the forest canopy. Despite its striking appearance, it can be elusive and difficult to spot due to its secretive nature.
