Trogon mexicanus is a well-known and characteristic species of the forests of the 
highlands of Mexico and Guatemala, beyond which latter country it has not been 
traced. It was first discovered in Mexico by Bullock at Temiscaltepec, on the borders 
of the plateau, and it has since been found in suitable places in all the surrounding 
country—the Sierras of Jalisco and the Sierra Nevada of Colima, as well as the 
volcanos of Orizaba, Popocatepetl, and Cofre de Perote. In Guatemala we found it 
in many parts of the upland districts from an elevation of about 3000 feet to as high 
as 7000 or 8000 feet or more above sea-level. The forests of evergreen oaks are its 
chief resort, but it is also found in the thinner forest which clothes the hills of the 
interior at a lower elevation. On one occasion, when riding along the road from the 
city of Guatemala to Vera Paz, near the village of Chuacus, we observed a male bird of 
this species fly from a hole in a small tree growing near the road-side. This hole was 
about 15 or 20 feet from the ground, and contained three slightly-pointed eggs of a very 
pale greenish colour. There was no nest, the eggs lying on the floor of the hole.
