Black-fronted nunbirds live in the rainforest, often in pairs or in small groups. Although it is a common species, these birds are difficult to see in the forest. They are best observed in open spaces, such as tourist lodges and park ranger stations along the Manu River. In these areas it is possible to see nunbirds capturing insects in flight. © E_publishing, Edym, Es., 2008, Licensed by Pro-Manu for Edym Multimedia, Spain. More
