The Black-tailed Trogon (Trogon melanurus) is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive black tail, vibrant green upperparts, and red belly. This species is often observed perching quietly in the canopy, where it feeds on insects and small fruits. The Black-tailed Trogon's call is a series of soft, low-pitched notes. It nests in tree cavities and is known for its elaborate courtship displays.
