Allgemein: The barred puffbird (Nystalus radiatus) is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae. It lives in forests in the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena of Panama, Colombia and Ecuador. They can often be found in the middle to upper levels of the forests, in addition it has been spotted on the edges of forest trials, wires in loosely populated land, clearings with scattered trees, and occasionally in lower stories of humid forest borders. In terms of behavior, this bird is easily overlooked because of its propensity to sit still for long periods of time (similar to other puffbirds). Migration of this species has not been observed. Their diet consists of beetles, large caterpillars, local praying mantis, and small lizards. It can be identified by its faint red color, long, narrow and slightly graduated tail, creamy yellow colored iris and small size.^[2][3] [more]
