Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Breathtaking, thickset trogon found only in Borneo’s north-central mountains. Male is predominantly bright red, whereas the female is mostly tan-orange; both sexes have a broad silverish “apron”, orangish-brown back, dark face, and blue bill and skin around the eyes. Favors damp, well-shaded sections of montane forest, where individuals and pairs sit quietly at mid-levels. Gives a well-spaced series of squeaky hoots.
