Blue-crowned Trogon

Trogon curucui

The Blue-crowned Trogon is a species of bird found in South America, particularly in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It is known for its striking appearance, with a vibrant blue crown, red belly, and green upperparts. This medium-sized trogon is often found in tropical and subtropical forests, where it perches quietly while hunting for insects, small reptiles, and fruit. The species is known for its distinctive call, a series of low, rolling notes. While not currently considered globally threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential threats to its populations.
