I’ve mentioned before that trogons are among my favorite birds. There are thirty-nine species that live in tropical regions throughout the world. I’ve photographed quite a few of them, but it’s always nice to find yet another. This time it was the orange-bellied trogon that I spotted while hiking a forest trail in El Valle, Panama. I saw both the male (pictured) and female. The females are beautiful birds as well, but not quite as colorful with their brown heads and yellow bellies.

Hey Michael, there is one trogon, called the elegant trogon, that summers in southern Arizona. Other than that, they all live further south.
