Marshall (1942) Amazilia rutila Trogon elegans Lake Omeaga - (Like T. melanoptyla) mummig I what little strictly confined to the natural cover on the slopes and dogwashes + ca in the Colinas de Juenavan - this consisting of the dry riped woods. At the head of one canyon first heard their low croop & thought them cries from very high in some large fruit- bearing trees & thought them to be Penelopes, & the next day we tried to track them down. They called regularly *to* one every 10-15 minutes & I finally by giving an imitation got a bird to come low & saw & heard it at some time - a T. elegans! Call as deep, in Van R. very deep and harsh, sound like a mammal. Feeding on fruit in their high trees Probably. Chileta noted
