March 5, 2024 - Bronzy Jacamar (Galbula leucogastra) Found in parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela, these jacamars live in forests, savannas, shrublands, and wetlands. Foraging alone, in pairs, or in groups of up to four, they feed on flying insects, capturing prey in short flights from perches and occasionally joining mixed-species flocks. Only three of their nests have been described, two in arboreal termite nests and one in a bromeliad on a large tree trunk. Both parents fed the chicks at the first two nests though only the female fed them at the third.
