Here's an article about the trogon's nesting preferences in Arizona: http://web1.audubon.org/science/species/watchlist/profile.php?speciesCode=eletro Another male trogon has apparently spent the winter in Madera Canyon, near Green Valley, Az. Typically, these birds fly up to southern Arizona from Mexico in mid-April for the nesting season.
