Elegant Trogon

Trogon elegans. Madera Canyon in southern Arizona is noted for its Trogons. They are now more common in other mountains in the southern part of the state. There are several species of Trogons in Mexico, all beautiful, but this is the only one that ranges this far north. I got this one in Madera Canyon after nearly a year of searching. They are heard fairly easily, but seeing one is another matter.
