Spotted
The Hispaniolan Trogon is a strikingly beautiful bird endemic to the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti). It is characterized by its iridescent green and blue plumage, red belly, and peculiar notched tail.
Where to spot
Endemic to Hispaniola, found in humid broadleaf forests, pine forests, and cloud forests, typically at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its vibrant colors and uniquely shaped tail. Listen for its soft, cooing calls. It can be quite elusive, so patience and careful scanning of dense forest foliage are needed.
When to spot
Diurnal, active during the day. Often sits quietly in the forest mid-story.

Like its Cuban relative, the Hispaniolan Trogon has a unique, serrated-looking tail and often appears to 'wag' it, though this is actually a slow, deliberate movement to display its colorful underparts.
