Gartered Trogon

Trogon caligatus

The Gartered Trogon (Trogon caligatus) is a medium-sized bird found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. It is known for its striking plumage, with a green back, red belly, and white bars on the wings. This species is often observed perching quietly in the forest canopy, where it feeds on a diet of insects and small fruits. The Gartered Trogon is known for its distinctive call, a series of soft, low-pitched notes. It nests in tree cavities and is often associated with mature, undisturbed forests. While not currently considered globally threatened, habitat loss and deforestation pose potential risks to its populations.
