Description
An Elegant Trogon (Trogon eleganus) photographed at Cave Creek Canyon in the Chiricahua Mountains near Portal, Arizona. I was fortunate to encounter these beautiful birds every day while camping in Chiricahua National Monument.
Many kinds of trogons live in tropical forests, but only one species regularly occurs in North America. Easily recognized by their metallic-green and rose-red colors, as well as their unusual stout-bodied, square-tailed profile, Elegant Trogons are a prized sighting for birders who visit southeastern Arizona. Early on spring mornings, their repetitive and resonating calls carry through the sycamore and oak forests that line canyon streams. Elegant Trogons are reliant upon woodpeckers to excavate holes in trees where they place their nests.
