Habita matas, inclusive <strong>de</strong> araucária, e capoeirões.<br />

Visto sozinho ou em casal, é manso e permite<br />

a aproximação. A cor da barriga, tanto <strong>do</strong> macho<br />

como da fêmea, varia regionalmente: em São Paulo<br />

e no Sul é vermelha, e <strong>do</strong> Rio <strong>de</strong> Janeiro para o Norte<br />

é alaranjada.<br />

Come insetos, aranhas e frutos; regurgita as sementes<br />

maiores. O casal escava o ninho em troncos <strong>de</strong><br />

árvores mortas em <strong>de</strong>composição e cupinzeiros. Põe<br />

os ovos no fun<strong>do</strong> <strong>do</strong> buraco, sem nenhuma forração,<br />

e ambos participam da incubação. Os filhotes saem<br />

série melodiosa <strong>de</strong> pios aflauta<strong>do</strong>s, cada vez mais<br />

intensos, que ressoa na mata.<br />

Paranapiacaba • Comum, é visto com frequência em<br />

trilhas na mata.<br />

The Surucua Trogon lives in forests, including araucaria,<br />

and brushland. This bird, which can be seen<br />

alone or in pairs, is quite tame and will allow itself to be<br />

approached. Belly color in both males and females varies<br />

regionally, being red in São Paulo and further south, and<br />

orangey in Rio <strong>de</strong> Janeiro and further north.<br />

This species eats insects, spi<strong>de</strong>rs and fruit, spitting<br />

out the larger pips. The pair will furrow a nest in a tree<br />

trunk or a termite mound. The eggs are placed at the<br />

bottom of the cavity, with no padding, and the male<br />

and female both share the incubation. Chicks leave<br />

the nest after 14 or 15 days.<br />

During the breeding season, the male will sing nonstop,<br />

issuing a melodious crescen<strong>do</strong> of flute-like whistles<br />

that resonate throughout the woodland.<br />

Points of interest about the species in the Mar and<br />

Paranapiacaba mountain ranges • common; often<br />

seen on forest trails.<br />

A patient predator • The Surucua Trogon will stay<br />

perched on a branch for a long time, surveying its<br />

surroundings. As soon as it <strong>de</strong>tects a flying insect,<br />

it will burst into flight, capture its quarry and return<br />

to its perch. It remains so still as it sits in wait that<br />

it will often go un<strong>de</strong>tected, <strong>de</strong>spite its color.<br />
