Spotted
The Rufous Trogon, with its distinctive copper-tailed variant, is a vibrant inhabitant of humid tropical forests. Males showcase iridescent green upperparts, a bright yellow bill, and striking rufous underparts, often with a hint of coppery iridescence on the tail.
Where to spot
This variant (T. cupreicauda) is found in specific regions of South America, typically in humid lowland forests of countries like Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia.
How to spot
Look for it sitting quietly in the mid-story of the forest. The combination of green back, rufous belly, and bright yellow bill is characteristic. Pay attention to its soft, repeated hooting calls to locate it.
When to spot
Present throughout the year in its resident habitat. Activity peaks during the cooler periods of the day, such as early mornings and late afternoons.

Trogons have strong, short legs and feet that are well-adapted for perching vertically on tree trunks or branches while they scan for insects and fruits.
