The rufous-tailed jacamar (Galbula ruficauda) is a near-passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World in southern Mexico, Central America and South America as far south as southern Brazil and Ecuador.
These birds forage from a perch on an exposed branch 1 to 3 meters from
the ground, and sally out to catch insects on the wing. After the
jacamar has caught an insect it beats it several times against a branch
to stun it and remove the insect's wings before it swallows.
This species is a resident breeder in a range of dry or moist woodlands
and scrub. The two to four rufous-spotted white eggs are laid in a
burrow in a bank or termite mound.
