The elegant trogon (''Trogon elegans'') (formerly the "coppery-tailed" trogon), is a near passerine bird in the trogon family.〔 Along with the eared quetzal, it is the most poleward-occurring species of trogon in the world, ranging from Guatemala in the south as far north as the upper Gila River in Arizona and New Mexico. The most northerly populations of subspecies ''ambiguus'' are partially migratory,〔(Elegant Trogon ) at Encyclopedia of Life〕 and the species is occasionally is found as a vagrant in southeasternmost and western Texas. It is a resident of the lower levels of semi-arid open woodlands and forests. It nests high in an unlined shallow cavity, usually selecting an old woodpecker hole, with a typical clutch of 2–3 eggs. == Description == Trogons have distinctive male and female plumages, with soft, often colourful, feathers. This species is long and weighs . Both sexes have a white undertail with fine horizontal black barring. The undertail also has large white tips spaced evenly ending in a black terminal band. Both have a yellow bill, orange-red undertail coverts and lower belly, and a white horizontal breast stripe. The male elegant trogon has a metallic deep green head, upper breast and back, black face and throat, and red-orange lower breast and belly. He shows grey upperwing coverts. The female has a metallic bronze head, upper breast, back, upper tail and upperwing coverts. She shows a dull white upper belly, and a small white vertical stripe behind the eye. The usual call is a croaking "co-ah co-ah co-ah". The trogon will also include some chattering notes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elegant trogon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
