Elegant Trogon aka Coppery-tailed Trogon
Southern Arizona is home to many species of bird, but one particular bird always makes its way into conversation; The Elegant Trogon. Also known as the "Coppery-tailed" Trogon, this species barely makes its way into Arizona's Madrean Sky Island mountain ranges. It primarily inhabits deep canyons or areas surrounding a source of water.
A cool fact about these birds is that they lack the ability to build their own nest cavities, so they become a secondary user of nest sites previously created by woodpeckers or other species.
