	Russet-throated Puffbird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Russet-throated Puffbird (Hypnelus ruficollis) is a near-passerine bird which breeds in tropical South America in northeastern Colombia and much of Venezuela.
		The puffbirds are an insectivorous bird family related to the jacamars, but lacking the iridescent colours of that group.
		The Russet-throated Puffbird is fairly common in dry scrub and dry forest.

	Puffbird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The puffbirds' and their relatives in the near passerine bird family Bucconidae are tropical near passerine birds from South America, extending up to Mexico.
		They are related to the jacamars, but lack the iridescent colours of that family.
		Like most of their relatives, this group are hole nesters, laying 2-3 white eggs in a hole in the ground or a termite mound.

	Change English name of Notharchus hyperrhynchus
		In such cases, I think that it is most common to retain the established name for the nominate form of the species.
		The established English name of "White-necked Puffbird" was based on the prominence of the wide white hindcollar of hyperrhynchus and paraensis, which collectively, occupied the vast majority of the range of what was N.
		Also, since hyperrhynchus is by far the more widespread and familiar (to ornithologists and birders) form to which the name "White-necked Puffbird" has been applied, it would be most fitting for that name to stay with hyperrhynchus rather than with macrorhynchos.

	Change English name of Notharchus macrorhynchos
		is yet another fl-and-white puffbird that represents a variation on the common theme of the genus Notharchus.
		At the same time, the use of "White-necked Puffbird" as a group name (as in "Western White-necked Puffbird" and "Eastern White-necked Puffbird") would not only be awkward and ugly, but would probably be misleading in the sense that I do not believe (based on vocal characters) that macrorhynchos and hyperrhynchus/paraensis are one-anthers' closest relatives.
		Given that macrorhynchos is found only in E Venezuela, the Guianas, and extreme N Brazil south to the left bank of the Amazon, it is essentially a Guianan bird, and the only member of its family restricted to that geographic area.

		Finally, among the birds frequently seen from the overlooks on this trail are tanagers, jacamars, Swallow-winged Puffbird, Long-tailed Tyrant, and others.
		The Ocelot Trail, covering a 300 hundred year old sample of floodplain forest, your stereotypical "rain forest", is a good birding trail for forest birds and some wading and lakeside birds which live close to the small freshwater ponds.
		Finally the palm swamp at the edge of these hills houses a few species that are hard or impossible to find in other habitats, principally Striped Woodcreeper, Dull-rumped Attila and the Point-tailed Palmcreeper, an elegant ovenbird which is rarely found outside palm swamps.

	Spotted Puffbird (Bucco tamatia) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Spotted Puffbird with its fl bill, red iris, orange forehead, throat and upper chest, white malar stripe and fl patch on the side of its neck is unlikely to be confused.
		Its preferred habitat seems to be gallery forest, the edges of várzea forest and Mauritia palm groves which is where these birds were found.
		Like most puffbirds, they can be hard to spot because they spend a lot of time motionless.

	Guapi Assu Bird Lodge 2004 \| Introduction to the Atlantic Rainforest (8 days lodge-based trip)
		The remarkable endemic Crescent-chested Puffbird is often found in the grove of trees outside the lodge kitchen!
		This is a terrific 8-day tour for those who don't like to spend a lot of time traveling.
		One day isn't enough to cover the higher elevations, so we'll take a packed lunch and head back up the mountains to the national park a little more than an hour to the west.

	WORLDTWITCH - Venezuela Birding Trip Report by Jon Hornbuckle, January - February 2001
		This is not the place to discuss personalities, but suffice it to say that we parted company with our tour-organiser before the end and that I would strongly recommend that anyone using the Internet should insist on references and thoroughly check these out before making any commitments.
		Best birds for me were Moustached Puffbird, on the mountain trail, and Venezuelan Wood-Quail at 17.30 near the second stream crossing on the level pipeline trail.
		Dips: Zigzag Heron, Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet, Rufous-winged Ground-Cuckoo, Crested Owl, Bronzy Jacamar, Brown-banded Puffbird, Tawny-tufted Toucanet, Dot-backed Antbird.
