| Bird Family : | Trogonidae - Trogons |

| Red Data Status : | Unspecified |
| Remarks : | A p-lifer for me, the Malabar Trogon female. They are far shier than the males, like in all trogons, and it takes far more effort in photographing them. The dense evergreen jungle of Thattekad presents great 'sunlight & shadow' opportunities to photograph these birds. - RS
