Pieter Verheij made the first photo from above of a Spotted Puffbird in Janury 2007. The second one was made by Dominiek Plouvier in 2009 and the third one was also made in Suriname by J.S. Dunning in 1978. Like other puffbirds it sits still for very long times, to suddenly fly away and catch an insect and return.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
