The Red-headed Trogon is a strikingly beautiful bird with a vibrant red head, iridescent green upperparts, and a red belly. It is a widespread resident of forests across Asia.
Where to spot
Inhabits montane evergreen and deciduous forests, from foothills to high altitudes, across a wide range in Asia, from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia and China.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, mournful hooting calls. Look for it perched upright and motionless in the forest mid-story or understory. The male's red head is a clear identifier.
When to spot
Diurnal, active during the day. Often sits quietly for long periods in the mid-story.
