Feeding Habits
Green-tailed Jacamar primarily consumes flying insects like Hymenoptera and also feeds on Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, and others. It forages by perching on branches and making around 40 sallies per hour, displaying swift head movements for active hunting.
Habitat
The green-tailed Jacamar is typically found in the outskirts of tropical forests and adjacent habitats, thriving in humid terra firme, várzea regions, gallery forests, and secondary growth. Adapting well to altered landscapes like marshlands and plantations, green-tailed Jacamar favors open woodlands, savannas, and shrubby areas. Preferring water-adjacent territories, they are commonly seen perching at low to mid-levels near streams, rivers, and ridges.
