May 6, 2026 - Rufous-necked Puffbird (Malacoptila rufa) Found in parts of Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia, these puffbirds live in forests, savannas, and wetlands. They probably eat mostly invertebrates and possibly some small vertebrates, hunting in short flights from a perch and sometimes following army ant swarms or joining mixed-species flocks. Though little is known about their breeding behavior, one of their nests was described as a tunnel in the ground and closely related species nest in burrows.
