For those of you who didn't get the memo, like me - this is a Gartered Trogon not a Violaceous Trogon. The more northerly Mexican population of this species complex had been split from the Violaceous Trogon recently.When I took this photograph there had been four more male trogons perched sedately nearby. I find that when I come across male trogons, it is usually a small group. Most accounts I read report that this is a monogamous species forming strong pair bonds, but specifics of their mating behavior and their social behavior is pretty poorly known. ...I wonder if there is something going on here, or if it is just a coincidence that I tend to see trogons hanging around one another?
