Trogon collaris
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The collared trogon is one of the most widespread trogons in the Americas, metallic green above with a red belly and a white collar separating the two. It stays motionless in the understorey for long stretches and sallies out to pluck fruit and insects in hovering flight. It nests in arboreal termite mounds and wasp nests, excavating a chamber inside them.
