Description
The very handsome Citreoline Trogon is found only in west Mexico (endemic to west Mexico), where no other yellow-bellied trogons occur. I was excited to spy this one just off a dirt road in some pretty thick trees.
This bird is found in arid to semiarid woodlands, thorn forests, plantations, hedgerows, and other semiopen areas with taller trees, including gardens. Citreoline Trogons are sometimes found in small groups at fruiting trees. As well as the yellow belly, note the pale yellow eyes and mostly white underside to the tail, with no dark barring.
