One species, the coppery-tailed trogon, is found in the United States. Trogons are colorful birds with red, yellow, or orange abdomens and green, blue, brown, or violet chests and backs.

Elegant Trogon - called Coppery-tailed Trogon in older books - perches gazing right back at me. Now, from a Northern birder's point of view, the five "most exotic" kinds of Mexican birds are probably the tinamous; parrots and parakeets; motmots; toucans... and; trogons. With their size, bright colors and stubby tails, Trogons look a little like parrots, but they lack the parrot's sharply downcurved beak.
