The Citreoline Trogon is a medium-sized trogon known for its striking yellow underside and iridescent green upperparts. Males display particularly vibrant plumage, making them a captivating sight in their native habitats.
Where to spot
Found in Central America, specifically along the Pacific lowlands from Mexico south to Costa Rica. Inhabits humid to semi-arid evergreen forests, woodlands, and plantations.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive silhouette perched upright and still on a branch, often near the mid-canopy. Listen for its mournful, repeated 'coo' call. Its bright yellow belly is a key identification feature.
When to spot
Year-round resident within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.

Like many trogons, the Citreoline Trogon has a unique foot structure called heterodactyl, with two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward, aiding its strong grip on tree branches.
