Black-headed Trogon
Black-headed Trogon

A medium-size yellow-bellied trogon of tropical lowlands occurs in forest, but also in hedgerows, semi-open areas with taller trees and mangroves. It perches at mid-upper levels, at times with several other birds in a small area. Both male and female have a complete blue-grey eye-ring and the underside of the tail is marked with big blocks of white. Digs its nests in arboreal termite nests. Distribution is from Southern Mexico through Central America to Panama.
