Spotted
The Rufous Trogon is a widespread and colorful species known for its brilliant rufous belly, iridescent green back, and bright yellow bill in males. Females are generally duller but share the rufous underparts.
Where to spot
Extensively distributed from Central America (e.g., Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama) through much of tropical South America. Favors humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests.
How to spot
Search for it perched upright and motionless on a branch in the mid-story. The male's rufous belly and yellow bill are excellent field marks. Listen for its soft, series of 'kwa-kwa-kwa' or 'cow-cow-cow' calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its vast range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when they forage for insects and fruits.

Despite their bright colors, trogons are known for their ability to remain incredibly still for long periods, often making them challenging to spot even when close by.
