And I have good news for those of you new to birding in the tropics: Most trogons are actually quite easy to see and, maybe contrary to a first impression, also easy to distinguish from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rica hosts three species of trogons with yellow bellies and another six species with red-bellies. Depending on your field guide, you might come across another one, the Orange-bellied Trogon, which is now mostly considered a subspecies of the Collared Trogon. While one of them, the sought-after Resplendent Quetzal, is truly unmistakable, some of the others at first can pose a challenge to the inexperienced observer. In fact, while browsing the internet for images to use in my latest two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@jabirustories\">YouTube videos<\/a>, I came across quite a few startling misidentifications. (One of them even confusing a neotropical trogon with one of its Southeast Asian cousins, although, to be fair, they are quite similar.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aforementioned YouTube videos go over the Trogon species in some detail to help interested birders identify Costa Rican Trogons, although I&#8217;ve done my best to keep it digestable. But while I was summarizing the field marks of the different species, I decided that an even more concise format might be of interest to some.
