  • My second morning at Savegre, the high altitude cloud forest in Costa Rica, known for its quetzals, I again rolled out at the crack of dawn. This time I experienced two quetzals. One female and one male. They like to pair up and follow each other thru the rain forrest. The video ends with the male grabbing its favorite food in slow motion. A two minute, twenty-six second peek at one of the planet's most spectacular birds; The Resplendent Quetzal.

    from eBird;
    Large, spectacular trogon of humid evergreen and pine-evergreen forest in the mountains of southern Mexico and Central America. It is the national bird (and lends its name to the currency) of Guatemala. Usually rather shy, but can be found feeding quietly at fruiting trees. Male is unmistakable with long emerald plumes flowing out behind in flight or blowing in the wind when perched. On females, note large size, grayish head, gray bill, and greatly reduced jagged plumes on the side of the breast.
