The Caatinga Puffbird (Nystalus maculatus) or Spot-backed Puffbird is a species of bird in the Bucconidae family, the puffbirds. It is found in eastern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina.

Spot-backed Puffbirds can be reliably found in the brushy shrubs just below the loft house. In Spanish the puffbirds are known as Durmili, for their habit of sitting placidly in one place. Many hummingbirds, including the spectacular Red-tailed Comet, are in the area. You can hear the many birds on the tape of the morning birdsong at the ranch and imagine exploring this natural area, preserved from man's intruding influences. More
