Diet and Foraging

Little information. Presumably the foraging behavior is similar to that of other species of trogon: most food is taken in aerial sallies to fruit or to surrounding vegetation. Forages in the midstory of humid deciduous and pine forests (28 Latta, S., Rimmer, C., Keith, A., Wiley, J., Raffaele, H., McFarland, K. and Fernandez, E. (2006). Birds of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey. Close ). Latta and Wunderle (29 Latta, S. C., and J. M. Wunderle (1996). The composition and foraging ecology of mixed-species flocks in pine forests of Hispaniola. Condor 98(3):595–607. Close ) had two encounters where the Hispaniolan Trogon was associated with mixed flocks.

Very little information. Known to mainly eat insects though also takes small vertabrates such as anoles (28 Latta, S., Rimmer, C., Keith, A., Wiley, J., Raffaele, H., McFarland, K. and Fernandez, E. (2006). Birds of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey. Close ) and fruit, especially those of the parrot tree, Brunellia comocladifolia.
