Citreoline trogon

Trogon citreolus

The Citreoline trogon is a small to medium-sized bird found in the forests of Central and South America. It is known for its vibrant green and yellow plumage, with a distinctive red belly and black and white striped tail. This species is often observed perching quietly in the mid to upper levels of the forest, where it feeds on insects and small fruits. The Citreoline trogon plays a vital role in its ecosystem by helping to control insect populations and dispersing seeds. Despite facing habitat loss and fragmentation, it is currently considered to be of Least Concern by the IUCN due to its relatively stable population and wide distribution.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical forests
