Why it matters
The Moustached Puffbird is a striking resident of humid forests in northern South America, easily identified by the prominent white whisker-like plumes that give the species its name. Like other members of the Bucconidae family, it is prized by birders for its characteristically sedentary nature, often remaining motionless for long periods while perched in the canopy.
