IA Born Report post Posted June 28, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted June 28, 2014 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! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oneshot Report post Posted June 28, 2014 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...

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Yes, elegant trogon...neat pic! They are far more common down south than most people think. We saw nine the other morning in the Pajaritos in one canyon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucks N Bulls Report post Posted June 28, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
