This image was taken on a private ranch along the Cuiaba River where they were helping to conserve the Hyacinth Macaws by providing them with their favorite palm trees and palm nuts. Lots of the macaws came back time after time to eat them. This was the only time on my trip I saw a nunbird who was sitting on some wires.
The black-fronted nunbird (Monasa nigrifrons) is a species of bird in the Bucconidae family, the puffbirds.
It is found in Amazonian Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, also regions of eastern and southeastern Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical and tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical and tropical swamps, and heavily degraded former forest.
The black-fronted nunbird has a black body and bright red-orange bill. It is found in small gregarious groups in lower to mid-level forests.
The black-fronted nunbird is found mostly in the Amazon Basin south of the Amazon River. It also occurs in two river regions further north: in the east between the confluence with the Xingu River westwards to the Tapajós River; and at the confluence of the Rio Negro and upstream on the Amazon.
It is also found in the Pantanal, but not the very southern portion. The IUCN has listed it as of Least Concern. - per Wikipedia
