We watched for a awhile as a Gartered Trogon perched on a branch intently watching the forest floor below. After a few minutes the bird flew down to forest floor and returned to their perch with prize in beak. It took them a minute or so to correctly position their catch but once they did it was….
…down the hatch it goes.
Quite a mouthful if I can say so myself.
Timing is everything…and yours was perfect 👏👏👏.

Incredible, Mike. I know trogons well and they’re very elusive and their range is limited. This series is truly spectacular.

Awesome catch, Mike! Guess it doesn’t mind being watched while eating. You can say so but not with your mouth full. 🙂
