We were birding in an area known as La Mesa during the morning of December 24, 2009. It was a partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the low 80's. We were walking along a country road when we began to encounter foothill birds not found in the forests below or in the Canal Zone. This male Black-throated Trogon was one of the birds we photographed. The male has a greenish-yellow bill, a pale blue eye-ring and a yellow belly. These characteristics along with the pattern on the underside of the bird's tail can be used to help identify the species. Trogons eat fruit and insects. They are difficult to locate in the forest because they perch quietly for long periods of time.
