    It has quite a juicy-looking morsel to snack on. Posted 4 years ago

      Indeed! Puffbirds are tricky to find because they spend long periods of time motionless, but their strategy clearly pays off, because just about every time I've spotted one, it had just caught a nice meal. Posted 4 years ago
