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.
