Collared Trogon

Trogon collaris

The Collared Trogon is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Central and South America. It has a distinctive appearance with a green back, red belly, and white and black barred tail. This species is known for its distinctive call, a series of soft, low-pitched hoots. Collared Trogons primarily feed on insects and fruit, and they are often observed perched quietly in the forest understory. They are cavity nesters, often using old woodpecker holes for nesting. The Collared Trogon is an important seed disperser and plays a role in maintaining the diversity of plant species in its habitat.
