Elegant Trogon in Southeast Arizona : In this gallery you can see an Elegant Trogon photographed at Garden Canyon in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. I shot all of these photos on the same day and of the same bird. He flew up and down a stream that runs down the mountain. This bird is extremely unique in its appearance and especially in its personality. The trogon is extremely tame and allowed me to come within ten feet of it at times. I also watched him go into a hole in a nearby tree where he got stuck due to his tail being in the way (see photos). The trogon acts as if it has no care in the world and is about the goofiest acting animal I have ever seen. Its every movement is unpredictable and it has a call that, to me, sounds like nothing else I have ever heard. But its call does remind me of a turkey call even though one could never mistake its call for a turkey. But once you hear an Elegant trogon, you will always recognize its call if you hear it again. I wish I could describe its call better for you. Unfortunately, this bird is quite rare. My father had heard one years before and when he heard this one he put me on it and left me in the vicinity for a while. I had a Canon 400d with a Canon 400mm 5.6L prime lens. I ended up spending about 3 hours with this bird. It would fly around but never away. I hope that one day you will find an Elegant Trogon in the wild so that you can experience what I did. Until then, please feel free to look over these photos and you will be able to see part of what I was able to see. God Bless you. Charlie
