4:17 Comparison & Summary
Trogons are colorful birds that are usually quite easy to spot as they sit calmly for long periods of time on branches in forests and gardens. There are 9 species of trogons in Costa Rica, and while one of them, the Resplendent Quetzal, is pretty much unmistakable, unfamiliar observers might struggle to distinguish between some of the other similarly plumaged species. Case in point: I stumbled across quite a few misidentifications on my image search online. But, fear not: Trogon Identification is actually quite simple! There are a few features to pay attention to and a few field marks to learn, but watch this video and you'll be an expert in Trogon Identification in no time!

Thank you for these id videos. They are very helpful and make things much clearer
You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words! I'm really happy that this series is helpful - the videos are a ton of fun to make and I'm learning a lot :)
I can remember better after viewing your tutorial video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you once more :) Really glad you found it helpful!
Great video, that was so helpful. My girlfriend immediately ran to the bookshelf, got the photos we took in 2020 and 2022, and checked on the Trogons we photographed 😂. Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable information. Who needs "The Birds of Costa Rica", when you have Jabiru Stories😅?
Haha, thank you so much! Still a lot of ground to cover until I catch up with Garrigues & Dean though 😂
What they did for Costa Rica is a absolutely incredible and needs to be done for more countries. When I briefly visited Mexico last year, I realized that not all countries are the same when it comes to bird field guides...
Thank you for again a great video of this series. It is really helping me prepare for my visit this year, without endlessly going through the fieldguid. Keep up the good work!
Really glad you enjoy the videos and find them helpful! I'll try to get out as many as I can to prepare you for your visit :) Any birds that would interest you in particular? I have a somewhat loose list of groups that I want to cover, but always happy for suggestions!
Thanks again! Hopefully coming down in July for some scouting: Leaving Sweden as soon as I can.
Thanks for stopping by again :) One of the nice things about Costa Rica is that it's really amazing year round!
