Field Notes

Description:

As with other jacamars but otherwise unknown among Piciformes, their chicks do not hatch naked. They have a piping song and feed in typical Jacamar fashion, by catching flying arthropods, typically larger insects such has butterflies.

Habitat:

It is native to Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural are moist lowland , both tropical and subtropical, and heavily degraded former forest. I found this specimen in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
