The swallow-winged puffbird (''Chelidoptera tenebrosa'') is a species of bird in the Bucconidae family, the puffbirds. It is also called the swallow-wing. It is the only species in the genus ''Chelidoptera''.〔 It is found in Brazil and the entire Amazon Basin; also Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, the Guianas, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical and tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical and tropical swamps, and heavily degraded former forest. ==Distribution and habitat== The swallow-winged puffbird's range is throughout the Amazon Basin to the foothills of the Andes in the west, in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. To the east-southeast, the range encompasses the Amazon's adjacent Tocantins-Araguaia River drainage and about eastward. Southeastwards from the Amazon Basin across the Caatinga, a disjunct population occurs on the southeast coast of Brazil, in a wide coastal strip that extends about . On the north Caribbean coast of South America, in the west nearly all of Venezuela is in the bird's range. The coastal range is continuous eastwards through the Atlantic coastal Guianas, and ends east of the Tocantins-Araguaia drainage in the Brazilian states of Maranhão and Piauí. The swallow-winged puffbird digs its nest in sandy soil, forming a burrow two or three feet long, where it lays one or two eggs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swallow-winged puffbird」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
