Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno)

This the bird I was rushing to see when I came across the Emerald Toucanet. We managed to see both sexes but it was quite dark in the forest. If one goes to CR this is a must see bird and we very nearly dipped!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic Robert, I am tickled that you got this beauty. What a horrible quandary to be put in, pass a gorgeous Emerald Toucanet by to see this emblematic bird or hope to manage both. Great job, and congratulations!!!
