Spotted
The Amazonian Trogon is a beautiful bird found across the Amazon basin, closely related to the Rufous Trogon. Males display bright rufous underparts contrasting with iridescent green upperparts, while females have more subdued coloring and a distinctive white eye-ring.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia. Inhabits humid lowland forests, especially terra firme and varzea forests.
How to spot
Look for this trogon perched quietly in the forest mid-story or sub-canopy. The male's brilliant rufous belly and iridescent green back are good identification marks. Listen for its soft, resonant hooting calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year in its Amazonian habitat. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging for insects and fruits.

Amazonian Trogons are often solitary birds, but during the breeding season, pairs will work together to excavate their nest cavities in soft, rotting wood or old termite nests.
