Ecuadorian Trogon
Trogon mesurus
(L 12-12.5" Wt 3.45 oz)
Found in west Ecuador and
extrem northwest Peru.
In the rain forests the Trogon dwells
Eating insects, fruit and seeds
A bird with the most lustrous plumage
Nesting in holes in the trees
Brilliant and dazzling with their long tails
A truly beautiful sight to see.
