Trogonidae: The Trogons and Quetzals
A very nice, photogenic family. If you have a heterodactly foot fetish then this is your page. Ethan has documented 11 out of 46 of trogons.
Trogon melanocephalus (Black-Headed Trogon)
Trogon massena (Slaty-Tailed Trogon)
One of Ethan’s favorite photographs. Look at those feet.
Pharomachrus mocinno (Resplendent Quetzal)
Not a great photo and no tail but still one of Ethan’s favorite birds. He is glad that he saw it in Guatemala instead of in Costa Rica like a normie.
Trogon caligatus (Gartered Trogon)
Trogon citreolus (Citreoline Trogon)
Sus looking bird.
Harpactes oreskios (Orange-Breasted Trogon)
Harpactes wardi (Ward’s Trogon)
An ABSOLUTE UNIT of a trogon
Harpactes erythrocephalus (Red-Headed Trogon)
Harpactes duvaucelii (Scarlet-Rumped Trogon)
Harpactes fasciatus (Malabar Trogon)
Harpactes reinwardtii (Javan Trogon)
