Beetles form a large part of their diet, but they also take moths, grasshoppers and termites.
potoo |
This potoo is a large cypselomorph bird related to the nightjars and frogmouths, but like other potoos it lacks the bristles around the mouth found in the true nightjars.
The range in Bolivia is bifurcated; in the north, the Long-tailed Potoo is found on the headwater rivers to Brazil's Amazonas state's Madeira River; in northeastern Bolivia, the bifurcated range extends only to the mountain headwaters of another tributary of the Madeira, the Brazilian-Bolivia Guaporé River.
The main range of the White-winged Potoo is the central Amazon Basin at the confluence of four rivers, from the Rio Negro on the north, to the Madeira River on the south, in eastern regions of Brazil's Amazonas state.
