This is one of the largest, and most widespread members of the puffbird family, and frequents the forest canopy from southern Mexico south through the Amazon, in CR we see it in rainforest and gallery forest, nesting in termites nest due the few old trees where they should build their nest, they feed in large insects , back in 1995, I saw one of then hunting per a hummingbird.

Thanks ,and good luck to all the nominated spottings.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
