Spotted
The White-tailed Trogon is a colorful Neotropical bird distinguished by its vibrant green or blue-green upperparts and bright red belly. Males have a crisp white undertail, which gives this species its common name.
Where to spot
Found in South America, primarily in the northern Amazon basin, extending into parts of Central America (e.g., Panama). Prefers humid lowland forests, including terra firme and várzea forests.
How to spot
Scan the mid-to-upper canopy for a still, upright bird. The male's white undertail and the female's barred undertail are key identifiers. Listen for their characteristic hooting or cooing calls.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident range. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when they are more actively foraging.

Despite their bright colors, White-tailed Trogons can be surprisingly difficult to spot as they often sit motionless for long periods in the forest canopy, blending with the dappled light.
