What kind of bird is this???

Recommended Posts

Everything says Elegant trogon to me, especially when I click on the pic and make it bigger. That's the only bird I know that looks like with that kind of green on its back. I"m guessing you are down southeast AZ somewhere and they are fairly common in canyons down there. Their call sounds about like a barking pig or sick seal. Cool pic!

I thought they were just in the Santa Rita?

They are in every mountain range along the border. Chiricahuas to the Pajaritos. I miss seeing them!

Lucky you AzLance , some folks travel from around the world to see the elegant trogon for their "life lists"...

hehehe IABorn, they do have a crazy voice and it's hard to believe it's coming from a bird...

This is a coppery tailed tragon. Here is a picture of one i recently got on video while bear hunting In Santa Ritas. The pic not so good as i took it with my phone while on pause from video.post-4452-0-44407800-1403978004_thumb.jpg
