Citreoline Trogon, Durango Highway, Mexico 24 January 2007.

We left the San Blas area ealy this morning with Carolyn Felderhof of Sendero Mexico who would guide us for our Durango Highway section of the trip. On the way we stopped on the lower sections of the highway where we had several Rufous-bellied Chachalacas, Varied Buntings and Black-throated Magpie-Jays. A quick stop at Cerro de Elefante due to some birds over the road in a fruiting tree revealed these Citreoline Trogons and some Rufous-backed Thrushes. Onwards and upwards, we stopped on the Panuco Road where ther was a flock of 11 Grey Silky-Flycatchers amongst a bunch of other birds we had already seen so far this trip.
