Habitat
The black-tailed Trogon predominantly inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, including forest edges and secondary growth woodlands. These birds are adapted to living in both terra firme and várzea forests, encompassing transition zones with poor drainage and swampy areas as well as gallery forests within savannas. Black-tailed Trogon have been observed up to elevations of 2200 meters in the western Andean region and 1000 meters in southern areas near the Orinoco River. They can also be found in primary forests in the interior, sometimes in proximity to species like Pharomachrus pavoninus and T. collaris.
