Spotted
The Collared Trogon is a small to medium-sized trogon recognized by its brilliant green upperparts, vivid red belly, and a distinctive white collar that separates the green breast from the red abdomen in males. Females have a brown head and upperparts.
Where to spot
Widespread from southern Mexico through Central America and extensively across South America, including the Andes and Amazon basin. Found in humid lowland and montane forests.
How to spot
Look for it perched quietly and upright on a branch in the mid-story. The male's prominent white collar and red belly are unmistakable. Listen for its series of rapid, staccato 'kek-kek-kek' calls, which can vary regionally.
When to spot
A year-round resident throughout its vast range. Best observed during the early morning and late afternoon when they are most active.

Collared Trogons often participate in mixed-species feeding flocks, particularly when foraging for insects, benefiting from the collective vigilance of other bird species.
