I tried for an Elegant Trogon last weekend and failed miserably. (im going again tomorrow I hope) but I did come away with a few decent shots of this GBH. Not the best photos but for the 2 hour drive each way at least I came away with something.:p

Nice shots, Jeremy; I especially like the first in-flight shot. Where are you looking for trogons and have any been reported?

That's a nice set, Jeremy. I like that little Sandpiper especially.

Thanks for the comments Cheryl and Levina

Al, Thank too and I have seen photos of the Trogon at Patagonia Lake here in AZ.
I went last weekend and my friend Steve (who rode down with me ) got a shot of it. LOL

He went back yesterday and got AMAZING photos of it. So I will be going tomorrow AM.
Hopefully I will have a nice thread with some great photos of it. But I will probably fail miserably again. It happens.
