Spotted
Baird's Trogon is a visually stunning bird found in Central America, characterized by the male's iridescent blue-green upperparts, bright red belly, and contrasting white undertail. Females are duller but still distinctive with their dark head and finely barred undertail.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid lowlands and foothills of the Pacific slope of Costa Rica and Panama. It prefers mature evergreen forests and well-developed secondary growth.
How to spot
Search for it perched motionless on a branch in the forest understory or mid-story. The male's bright red belly, blue-green back, and white undertail are unmistakable. Listen for its distinctive, low-pitched hooting calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its limited range. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when it is more active, though it can be elusive.
