A very beautiful Bar-tailed Trogon – Apaloderma vittatum. One of the only three Trogon species that occur in Africa. These are sometimes easier to hear than see and do not mean they are the most challenging to find, although they can be. They have mastered blending in their moist, montane forest habitats. They know that if they turn their beautiful greenbacks towards a potential threat (humans in this case), Trogons blend very well with the green vortex that they inhabit. Even when facing you, if your eyes miss the beautiful red, Trogons know so well to stay still and softly turn around so you do not notice their presence. If you watch this video of a fascinating male, you will see how he calmly turns around the head in a manner that does not attract immediate attention—brilliant and beautiful birds
