Elegant Trogon in Nest

I have several wonderful Elegant Trogon photos. I was hiking along the South Fork of Cave Creek in the Chiricahua Mountains of Southeast Arizona when I heard the barking of a male Trogon. The sound kept getting closer so I just stayed put. After a couple of minutes I saw the male Trogon fly into a hole in a Sycamore Tree. Ah Ha! A nest. I hung out there for over an hour watching and photographing first the male and then the female stick their head out of the hole in the tree. What a delight!
