| On my first trip to Panama, in August 2003, I spotted six different species of trogons, but the most abundant and well-viewed was, by far, the Slaty-tailed Trogon. The first two pictures below are from film captured on Pipeline Road; the video is actually fairly decent, but hand-held at at a modest distance, making the stills a bit blurry. The bird was engaging in the usual trogon behavior, tilting its head to and fro to peer at me. |
| The bird below was filmed at the Canopy Tower, in September 2004- I'm getting closer, but this time a small branch obstructed my view. With patience, one day I'll really capture the perfect trogon video! |
| Slaty-tailed Trogon always seems to be the only species of trogon seen regularly from the cozy confines of the Canopy Tower, and so it was in July of 2005, when I captured a bit of video of the handsome bird pictured below. |
