The Elegant Trogon
So for the past week, Ive been hearing of, as well as hearing, a male Elegant Trogon in the area. Its kinda like a parrot (but dont ever call it one around a birder), with a bright red belly and green wings. They have a very bizzare call that sounds like a small barking dog. Everytime I have been out in the woods I have heard it but it has been to far away. When I was doing the hummingbird trapping it was right above us, barking at me when my hands were occupied and I had no camera anyway. So today (which is my day off, yay, no dishes) I heard him and went out hunting. This isnt the best photo, they tend to stay high in the trees, but its a start.
