Collared Trogon (male) / Trogon collaris / Trogón Collarejo (macho)

The Collared Trogon lives in humid tropical & subtropical forests, including cloud forests, of Central & South America. Often found in pairs, they feed on small berries and invertebrates (caterpillars, beetles, crickets, etc.) plucked while in flight, sometimes hovering briefly, returning to a nearby branch to eat the prey. Males are much more colorful than the more cryptic females, which are brownish. This is a vocal bird that dwells in the subcanopy and thick understory, usually staying away from direct sunlight.

Photographed at Otún-Quimbaya Wildlife Sanctuary in the Central Andes of Colombia.
