Harpactes Wardi -Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh, India-8
''Harpactes'' is a genus of birds in the family Trogonidae found in forests in South and Southeast Asia, extending into southernmost China. They are strongly sexually dimorphic, with females generally being duller than males. Their back is brownish, the tail is partially white (best visible from below), and males of most species have red underparts. They feed on arthropods, small lizards and fruit. Two species, cinnamon-rumped and scarlet-rumped trogons, were previously classified in a separate genus, ''Duvaucelius'', and a 2010 study found that these two were closely related and formed a separate clade from all of the other ''Harpactes'' trogons (except orange-breasted trogon, which forms a third group), but recommended that all three groups should be treated as congeneric. This same study also found that the genus '' Apalharpactes'', containing two species sometimes included in ''Harpactes'', is actually distantly related and thus a valid genus.

Malabar Trogon
The Malabar trogon (''Harpactes fasciatus'') is a species of bird in the trogon family. It is found in the forests of Sri Lanka and peninsular India. In India it is mainly found in the Western Ghats, hill forests of central India and in parts of the Eastern Ghats. They are insectivorous and although not migratory, may move seasonally in response to rain in hill forest regions. Like in other trogons, males and females vary in plumage. The birds utter low guttural calls that can be heard only at close quarters and the birds perch still on a branch under the forest canopy, often facing away from the viewer making them easy to miss despite their colourful plumage. Description Like most other trogons, these birds are brightly coloured and sexually dimorphic. The male has a slaty black head and breast with a white border to the black bib separating it from the crimson on the underside. The back is olive-brown to chestnut. The wing coverts are black with fine white vermiculations. They ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Handbook Of The Birds Of The World
The ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW) is a multi-volume series produced by the Spanish publishing house Lynx Edicions in partnership with BirdLife International. It is the first handbook to cover every known living species of bird. The series was edited by Josep del Hoyo, Andrew Elliott, Jordi Sargatal and David A. Christie. All 16 volumes have been published. For the first time an animal class will have all the species illustrated and treated in detail in a single work. This has not been done before for any other group in the animal kingdom. Material in each volume is grouped first by family, with an introductory article on each family; this is followed by individual species accounts (taxonomy, subspecies and distribution, descriptive notes, habitat, food and feeding, breeding, movements, status and conservation, bibliography). In addition, all volumes except the first and second contain an essay on a particular ornithological theme. More than 200 renowned speci ...

Orange-breasted Trogon
The orange-breasted trogon (''Harpactes oreskios'') is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae. It is a colorful, sedentary species that inhabits the lower canopy of the lowlands and forest of southern China, southeast Asia, Borneo, Sumatra and Java.

The genus ''Harpactes'' contains the Asian trogons. ''H. oreskios'' is the sister group of the Philippine trogon (''Harpactes ardens'') and Diard's trogon (''Harpactes diardii''). Five subspecies are recognized: * ''H. o. oreskios'' (the nominate subspecies) * ''H. o. stellae'' * ''H. o. uniformis'' * ''H. o. nias'' * ''H. o. dulitensis'' Description The orange-breasted trogon ...

Red-headed Trogon
The red-headed trogon (''Harpactes erythrocephalus'') is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae.
