Galbula galbula
As with other jacamars but otherwise unknown among Piciformes, their chicks do not hatch naked. They have a piping song and feed in typical Jacamar fashion, by catching flying arthropods, typically larger insects such has butterflies.
It is native to Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural are moist lowland , both tropical and subtropical, and heavily degraded former forest. I found this specimen in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
